Clémence Poésy will be playing Roxanne in Cyrano de Bergerac on Broadway this Fall at the American Airlines Theatre in New York. This will be her Broadway debut after appearing in various film, theatre and television productions. The play features a new translation by Ranjit Bolt and Roundabout Theatre Company describes it as an “enduring masterwork with some of the wittiest lines ever written for the stage”. The play will start previewing on September 14 and open officially on October 11 until November 25.
Cyrano de Bergerac is the story of a nobleman (Douglas Hodge as Cyrano) with a head for poetry and a nose for miles. Everyone in Paris adores him, except his true love Roxane, who can’t see past his prominent facial feature. Instead, Roxane falls in love with Christian (Kyle Soller), a handsome cadet. But when Christian tells Cyrano that Roxane makes him tongue-tied, Cyrano provides him with the romantic words that are guaranteed to win the young lady’s heart.
The Evening Standard British film awards were held last night and a bunch of Potter stars were in attendance including Bonnie Wright, James Phelps, Clemence Poesey (Fleur), Jamie Campbell Bower (Young Grindlewald), Toby Jones (Dobby), Warwick Davis, and John Hurt. Photos of the stars at the event may be seen here.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II won the Blockbuster of the Year, People’s Choice Award. Additionally, John Hurt, who plays Ollivander in the Potter films, was honored with the Alexander Walker Special Award for his contribution to film.
Finally I have uploaded the rest of my coverage from the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II London premiere. You can see all the photos in the gallery (do NOT take without linking back to magical-menagerie.com). Watch the videos below:
This is Sutton Coldfield is reporting that Clemence Poesy has sung a duet with Miles Kane for his recent album, The Colour Of The Trap, which will be released on May 9th. Clemence is most known for her role as Fleur Delacour-Weasley in the Harry Potter films.
Miles said: “I love Lee Hazelwood and the songs he did with Nancy Sinatra, or Serge Gainsbourg’s duets with Brigitte Bardot. I wanted a moment like that on the album, something sexy or sensual, and it wasn’t until after I’d written and recorded Happenstance that the duet came about. I didn’t know who she was, but someone from my record label was at a party in Paris and met Clemence, they got talking about me, and before I knew she was coming over to the studio. I must admit thinking, ‘she’s an actress, she won’t be able to sing’, but she was more on it than me when we were recording. We did it in three takes.”During the second verse of the song, there’s an audible giggle from the Gallic star as she provocatively purrs, ‘I want the keys to your chest’. Miles said: “There’s not enough stuff like that in music now. Clemence thought we’d have to re-record it, but we had to keep it and it totally made that moment on the album I’d been looking for.”
Today we have the first part of what will be 2 different press conferences that were held on Monday April 4th at Harry Potter: The Exhibition in New York City. This first press conference was with normal media outlets, which you will hear in this post. The other press conference was with fan sites, Magical-Menagerie was in attendance, and hopefully WB will be sending over that audio soon. Sadly photography was not allowed at this event, so you can only listen.
In the first clip you will hear David Thewlis, Natalia Tena, Evanna Lynch, Warwick Davis, Freddie Stroma, Robbie Coltrane, Helen McCrory and David Barron. The second includes Clemence Poesy, Dohmnall Gleeson, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Bonnie Wright, Mark Williams, Michael Gambon and David Heyman.
Thank you to WB (and WCG) for sending over the audio! Also, thanks to SnitchSeeker for uploading the audio so I wouldn’t have to 😉
Last night I was one of the fan sites invited to cover the Grand Opening of Harry Potter: The Exhibit and the release of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 DVD.

So head over to the gallery to check out all 120+ images! There are also some better quality photos at the end courtesy of zimbio.
