Udo Lindenberg Musical Premieres in Berlin
According to Stage Entertainment, a musical featuring hits of German rock musician Udo Lindenberg premiered last week in Berlin.
Entitled HINTERM HORIZONT (or BEYOND THE HORIZON), the show celebrated its opening in Potsdam Square. The musical has a book by Thomas Brussig ("Sun Alley") and is directed by Ulrich Waller. This location of the theater is significant as the musical about a divided Berlin takes place where the Berlin Wall used to be.
Lindenberg is famous for his rebellious rock music, and believed in a unified Germany long before the Berlin Wall came down. The new musical tells the story of the forbidden love of a girl from East Berlin and the character of Udo Lindenberg, a West German rock star. A combination of Lindenberg's life story, the show is being advertised as an "East-West-Side-Story".
Jessy is played by Berlin native Josephin Busch, and Udo is played by Serkan Kaya (Jesus Christ Superstar, We Will Rock You).
The show includes the songs "To the End of the World", "Against the Flow", "Girl from East Berlin", "I Do My Thing," and "Beyond the Horizon" by Lindenberg.
The musical has been praised as an important comment on German history.
