谢丽·谢泼德今晚登上百老汇《阿拉丁》舞台 成首位饰演精灵的女性 限时驻演至明年1月3日
艾美奖得主、脱口秀主持人兼演员谢丽·谢泼德（Sherri Shepherd）于10月16日周五晚在纽约新阿姆斯特丹剧院登台，在迪士尼百老汇音乐剧《阿拉丁》中首次饰演精灵一角，成为该剧百老汇版历史上首位出演这一角色的女性。她的限时演出将持续至2027年1月3日：本周末出演周五、周六与周日晚场，自10月20日周二起按每周八场的常规排期演出。
谢泼德接替的是卡莱布·A·巴尼特（Caleb A. Barnett），后者在她驻演期间留团担任精灵一角的替补。精灵一角由詹姆斯·门罗·伊格尔哈特（James Monroe Iglehart）于百老汇首演版中创造，他凭这一角色获得托尼奖。《阿拉丁》改编自奥斯卡获奖动画电影，2014年3月20日在新阿姆斯特丹剧院开幕；现阵容包括罗德尼·英格拉姆（Rodney Ingram）饰阿拉丁、索尼娅·巴尔萨拉（Sonya Balsara）饰茉莉公主、丹尼斯·斯托（Dennis Stowe）饰贾方。全剧音乐由艾伦·曼肯（Alan Menken）创作，歌词出自霍华德·阿什曼（Howard Ashman）、蒂姆·赖斯（Tim Rice）与查德·贝格林（Chad Beguelin）之手，剧本由贝格林编写，凯西·尼古拉（Casey Nicholaw）担任导演兼编舞。
谢泼德此前表示，加入百老汇《阿拉丁》剧组是梦想成真、也是莫大的荣誉，她希望观众能在她饰演的精灵身上看到自己、带着喜悦离开剧院。她曾以《观点》（The View）共同主持人身份获得日间艾美奖，其后主持个人脱口秀《谢丽》（Sherri）四季；在百老汇舞台上，她此前已在《灰姑娘》中成为首位饰演邪恶继母的非裔女演员。迪士尼戏剧集团董事总经理安德鲁·弗拉特（Andrew Flatt）与执行制作人安妮·夸特（Anne Quart）表示，谢泼德的幽默与亲和力与精灵这一角色十分契合，精灵是全剧的灵魂所在。
Sherri Shepherd Debuts as the Genie in Broadway's Aladdin Tonight, the First Woman in the Role, in a Limited Run Through January 3
Emmy-winning talk show host, comedian and actor Sherri Shepherd begins performances as the Genie in Disney's Aladdin on Broadway on Friday, Oct. 16, at the New Amsterdam Theatre in New York, becoming the first woman to play the role in the production's Broadway history. Her limited engagement runs through Jan. 3, 2027. She performs the Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening shows this weekend, and from Tuesday, Oct. 20, she is scheduled to play eight performances a week.
Shepherd succeeds Caleb A. Barnett, who remains with the company as the Genie standby during her run. The role was created on Broadway by James Monroe Iglehart, who won the Tony Award for the performance. Aladdin, based on the Oscar-winning animated film, opened at the New Amsterdam Theatre on March 20, 2014. The current company includes Rodney Ingram as Aladdin, Sonya Balsara as Jasmine and Dennis Stowe as Jafar. The musical features music by Alan Menken, lyrics by Howard Ashman, Tim Rice and Chad Beguelin, a book by Beguelin, and direction and choreography by Casey Nicholaw.
Shepherd said joining Aladdin on Broadway is a dream come true and an honor, adding that she hopes audiences see themselves in her Genie and leave the theatre feeling joy. She won the Daytime Emmy Award as a co-host of The View and most recently hosted her syndicated talk show Sherri for four seasons. On Broadway, she previously made history as the first African American actress to play the Evil Stepmother in Cinderella. Disney Theatrical Group Managing Director Andrew Flatt and Executive Producer Anne Quart said Shepherd's humor and warmth make her well suited to the role, calling the Genie the life force of the show.
