Also starring Anna Friel, plus Oliver Platt and Academy Award® Winner Anjelica Huston (Best Supporting Actress, Prizzi's Honor, 1985) as the leaders of the retreat, THE CLEANSE is a darkly humorous, weird, and soulful fantasy that examines the inner demons in all of us.

Se acaba de anunciar que Aaron Tveit y Karen Olivo protagonizaran la version teatral del musical MOULIN ROUGE!, creado para la pantalla por Baz Luhrmann en 2001 y que supuso la revitalizacion del cine musical a principios de la primera decada del siglo XXI. Aunque el cine musical bebe mucho de Broadway, el caso contrario, la puesta sobre las tablas en forma de musical de una pelicula exitosa, es tambien un fenomeno bastante frecuente y que ultimamente esta teniendo distintas representaciones, tanto en Broadway con el reciente estreno de MEAN GIRLS o ANASTASIA y las futuras producciones de PRETTY WOMAN y MOULIN ROUGE! como en España, con una cartelera actual plagada de celuloide y un futuro lleno de estrenos con base cinematografica.
