Series “Actresses” — a new project of the team that gave us the series “Psych” a couple of years ago

Paulina Andreeva was again responsible for the script of “Actresses”, Fyodor Bondarchuk was again in the director’s chair. True, now Valery Todorovsky has joined them as a producer.

The series “Actresses” shows the life of a fictional theater and its employees

And also the filming process, castings, premieres. All in all, this is a great story. The film crew of the series consisted of more than 100 people. This is not counting the actors and dancers. In total, 50 dancers took part in the project, and 64 characters appear on the cast list.

Involved specialists also took part in the work on the project.

Both performances (“Chorus of the Beggars” and “Duck Hunt”) in the series were staged by the world-famous theater director Oleg Glushkov, and the choreographers, finalists of the project of the show “New Dances”, winners in the category “Duets” (Season 1) were responsible for the musical numbers on TNT Galya Gorbunova and Sergey STK. In “Actresses” there are also vocal numbers, the musical consultant and vocal teacher Alla Tarasova was responsible for working on them.

The series “Actresses”, like a play, is divided into three acts

There are 3 years between each act. 1, 2, 3 series — first act — year 2014; 4, 5, 6 series — 2017; 7, 8, 9,10 series — 2020 As conceived by the creative team, this approach to the series not only makes it related to a dramaturgical work, but also gives more freedom. For example, each of the acts received its own color code: in the first act, ocher is added, in the second — green, and in the third — pure red.

The series is not about a specific theater

The “Main Drama Theatre” declared in the series does not exist in reality. This is a collective image. In total, the film crew filmed the project in two theaters of the capital, as well as in the Actor’s House, where the offices of the administration of the serial theater were created.

All costumes and artistic solutions announced in the performances within the series are specially designed and original.

Including musical accompaniment, which was done by the composer of “Actresses” Igor Vdovin (TV series “Psych”). The composer Oleg Karpachev (TV series Fisher) was also involved in the work on the original soundtrack.

“Actresses” — the first big dramatic role of Lolita Milyavskaya

Her first feature film was Pops in 2005. The casting director of the series, Anna Selivanova, admits that she did not immediately decide to offer the director Lolita’s candidacy for the role of theater director, but after the first trials, the singer had no competitors left.

The series is staged by a director from France

Anton Rival, who is fluent in French, was specially chosen for this role. Actor Roman Evdokimov, who plays his interpreter, also speaks French, but has not practiced for a long time, so the actors behind the scenes also spoke French.

The cast of the project generally requires special attention

Starring three actresses — Svetlana Khodchenkova, star of the Theater of the Nation Elena Nikolaeva and brilliantly debuted in the TV series “Call Center” Polina Pushkaruk. As the creators of the series admit, this trio will be a real discovery for the audience.

And, finally, the series “Actresses”, although it is a fiction, yet many of its events copied from real theatrical and cinematic life.
