The TV channel "Russia" together with the Ukrainian television company "Inter" is finishing filming the New Year musical "The Three Musketeers". As Interfax was informed in the press service of the TV channel "Russia", one of the features of the project will be that the roles of the three musketeers will be played by women: TV presenter Ruslana Pysanka will become Porthos, singer Olena Svyrydova will be Athos, and actress of the Mayakovsky Theater Anna Ardova will be in the image of Aramis.
"There will also be a reverse transformation in the musical - Andriy Danylko will play the role of 'Widow Richelieu'. However, considering that A. Danylko is better known as Verka Serduchka, there is nothing surprising in this," noted a representative of the press service, reports ICTV.
The musical will also feature the well-known Armen Dzhigarkhanyan, Yuriy Stoyanov, Amaliya Goldanskaya, and D'Artagnan will be played by a "KVN performer" from Kryvyi Rih, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who together with his teammates also wrote the script.
The music for the musical was written by Maksym Dunayevsky, and the lyrics by Yuriy Entin.
