CANDIDE in Other Media

[ConnieAnnKirk]

By request of club member, Peppermill, here's a thread for discussion of CANDIDE as it is presented in other media--audiobooks, film, plays, etc.

Have you encountered CANDIDE in other forms?  If so, what was the form, and what did you think of it?

There is a fun DVD of Candide, the Musical. Kristin Chenoweth plays Cunegonde and Patty Lupone plays The Old Woman.

I saw the Bernstein musical on Broadway too many years ago and loved it.

Here's a PDF that comments on a production of the opera shortly after 9/11:

Thanks, Connie. I haven't learned how to create a thread yet -- sort of a defer to the leadership of the moderator attitude, but with a willingness to place requests for consideration. So, again, thanks. Pepper

No problem at all.  It is easy, though, Pepper, to start a new thread.  You simply click on "New Message" at the top left of the board.  You have to be on the screen that shows all the threads, not the "Reply" screen for replying to a single post within a thread.  Hope this helps other people also!

Please feel free, everyone, to let me know if you have any questions!

Thought some of you might enjoy seeing this video of Leonard Bernstein conducting his Overture to Candide:

Thanks, Pepper.  I've been meaning to post that for a few days now but kept forgetting!
