Don Darryl Rivera 称自己是“迪士尼书呆子”。从他以米老鼠和阿拉丁神灯装饰的办公室可见一斑。得知自己获得百老汇音乐剧《阿拉丁》中鹦鹉 lago 一角对他而言是一次激动人心的经历。 “我清楚地记得，当我接到（选角办公室打来的）电话时，我手都麻了。”Rivera 说道。 “我挂了电话，喊了出来，然后给我爸爸妈妈、姐姐和妻子打电话。那真是美妙的一天。” Don Darryl Rivera 在百老汇音乐剧《阿拉丁》饰演 lago。 迪士尼影迷们都会记得，在动画电影《阿拉丁》(1992)中，鹦鹉 lago 是由已故的 Gilbert Gottfried 配音，在百老汇改编版中，Rivera 以真人形式出演这一角色，并且作为主要恶作剧者 Jafar 的搭档，塑造了一个与这个大反派同样机智逗趣的形象。 “百老汇版的 lago 捕捉了电影版 lago 的精髓，并将其呈现为一个生动活现的迪士尼反派角色。”Rivera 说道。 当 Rivera 不在纽约新阿姆斯特丹剧院 (New Amsterdam Theatre) 奉上他每周八场的滑稽表演时，他会陪伴妻子 Kate 和女儿 Eloise，或者兼职作为剧作家和作曲家。他写书，还凭借改编自深受喜爱的儿童读物《哈罗德与紫色蜡笔》 （Harold and the Purple Crayon）并在他的家乡西雅图世界首演的音乐剧获得了两项《西雅图时报》(Seattle Times)“地灯奖”。 这一次，我们与 Rivera 聊到了他最喜欢 lago 的地方、他在舞台上的表演、一场令人难忘的舞台鞋失误等等！ Dennis Stowe（Jafar）和 Don Darryl Rivera（lago）在百老汇音乐剧《阿拉丁》中。（Evan Zimmerman 摄） 你喜欢你的角色的哪些地方？你和他有哪些相似之处？ 我喜欢 lago …
