Jan 4 2008 02:43 PM ET 0Share Defending Meryl Streep's right to sing in 'Mamma Mia
During the holidays, I spoke with a number of people who, like me, I saw the trailer in July, Mamma Mia! (Right photo) - the sexy, the love story Mediterranean salt tubes marked time with ABBA. Unlike me, however, most were unenthused - if not baffled by - the idea that Meryl Streep will star in a musical.But in this story. I always wear this suspicion Meryl: She loves to sing! (By nature, it is. Although reportedly studied singing as a child, he had acute nerves when asked to perform songs from Hollywood Bowl in 2006 promoting the A Prairie Home Companion).You will hear the voice singing Streep makes cameos in 1983 Silkwood, Ironweed, 1987, 1990 Postcards from the Edge, 1992 Death Becomes Her, 1998 by Dancing in Lughnasa - and he was not a professional singer Prairie (left), she danced (uncredited) in a big production number opposite Greg Kinnear in 2003 Stuck On you.I As the protagonist of Mother Courage and Her Children in the 2006 production of Shakespeare in the Park in New York, has built up out of Brecht. And I also heard her singing the blues, while driving a car with my niece, children's CDs of 2004 Philadelphia Chickens (fun fact: the other singers were Grammy-nominated album includes Natasha Richardson, Eric Stoltz, Scott Bakula, and Kevin Kline). Streep warbling may be frequently breathy and occasionally faltering, but can not bring harmony, and obviously enjoys the art of interpreting a song.After all that bother you, it may be Streep finally got what may have been his dream all the time: the lead in a musical. Meryl and Mamma Mia! may be a better choice than anyone expected - at least, the quality of the action are a flop musical theater number or soar. I'm quite looking forward to a performance which, if not quite in tune, will probably be full of joy. Meanwhile, how many of you PopWatchers remember other examples Streep sings forgotten over the years, in a film or elsewhere?
Meryl Streep the singing and dancing queen
When manufacturers of a new film version of the World Series win "Mamma Mia!" Meryl Streep was asked to play lead, Abba fan for a long time could not resist. She talks to John Hiscock in GreeceMamma Mia! Dream TeamTelegraph TV: behind the scenes of Mamma Mia!The Mamma Mia! PremiereMeryl Streep has written only one fan letter in his life, but it came down to what he calls a "dream role". Oscar-winning actor cast was moved to write a musical Mamma Mia! immediately after opening on Broadway to thank them for bringing joy to New York after September 11 days of attacks on the World Trade Centre.She had taken her 10 year old daughter and some friends for the new show in 2001 to take their minds off the tragedy. "We were allowed to float in the air," she recalls. "We were so excited. It would not have been a better tonic for the city, and I wrote the cast a note thanking them for music and what they gave us because it was something that means a lot right now. It was a gift not only for my little girl and her friends discouraged, but it was a gift to the entire city.
"I never imagined the cast would make copies of the letter and send it to England, and everyone have on their refrigerator, which told me much later what has the past. "
His note was not forgotten, and seven years later director Phyllida Lloyd, producer Judy Cramer and writer Catherine Johnson contacted her when casting a film version of the show and asked him to describe Donna, the owner of the 'Greek island hotels, he had three ex-lovers, on the eve of the marriage of his daughter.
