Musicale i komedie muzyczne w latach dyrekcji Witolda Mazurkiewicza w Teatrze Polskim w Bielsku-Białej (2013–2023)
Musicals and Music Comedies in the Years of Witold Mazurkiewicz’s Management at Polish Theatre in Bielsko-Biała (2013–2023)

Summary/Abstract: The author described the dominant trend of musical shows in the repertoire of the Polish Theatre in Bielsko-Biała during the years of Witold Mazurkiewicz’s management. Three musicals and several comedies staged between 2013 and 2023 were analyzed. These included Zorba by Joseph Stein, Fred Ebb and John Kander directed by Mazurkiewicz, Sześć wcieleń Jana Piszczyka by Jerzy Stefan Stawiński adapted and directed by Wojciech Kościelniak and Człowiek z La Manchy by Dale Wasserman with music by Mitch Leigh directed by Mazurkiewicz. For the first time, the presence of musicals in a regional theatre was both an attempt to meet the expectations of the surroundings and the result of casting possibilities. Mazurkiewicz has proven that with creative, well-sung actors and a large group of collaborating artists, it is possible to come up with new and original stage solutions. Difficult musicals can also be produced to a high standard by small theatres where the musical repertoire functions on a par with the dramatic one.
