Watch & Discuss: “Nord-Ost” (2001)
What do the Moscow Commodity Exchange, Beeline, the Russian voice of Bruce Willis, and an author-songwriting duo have in common?
They are the people who, inspired by Veniamin Kaverin’s novel “Two Captains,” created “Nord-Ost” — the first Russian musical to run daily on a single stage, following the Broadway long-run model.
Later, many of its participants became actors and creators of the next wave of Russian musicals.
