Musical Actor Gino Emnes (curr. Ike Turner in TINA- DAS MUSICAL/HAMBURG) just released the Clip to his Song ' EINANDER'(TOGETHER). Emnes, well known for his spellbinding performance as Lola in the German production of KINKY BOOTS wanted to record songs about love, loss, and friendship. He is showing a very personal side. EINANDER has got a wonderful message and remembers us about the important things in our lives. 'We only need each other....', dear diary, there is nothing more to say for today. Stay healthy.

First of all, we are all in this together and we will get through it together. Our beloved Musical Actors are using the Quarantine time to delight us with living room concerts.

The Belgian Musical Artist and Composer Rory Six, currently Old Deuteronomy in CATS/Vienna is bringing a glimpse of hope into these challenging times. Every day from now on until Easter Monday, Six is giving a Living room concert at 3:30 p.m. (CET) on the THEATERCOUCH Facebook page. Tune in for some beautiful melodies and enjoy the warmth and power of Six voice.

'These are desperate times, Mrs. Lovett', to quote the Demon Barber, Mr. Todd. Indeed, Covid2019 stopped the world and changed our lives in so many ways. Our beloved theatres went dark but as there are no shows we could enjoy in the theatre, we can listen to all the wonderful cast recordings and watch all the Musical related movies we always wanted but never got the time to do.

Ever thought of taking classes with Acrobats who have been seen at Cirque Du Soleil, Palazzo, Cirque De Demain, and Les Sept Doigts De La Main. Sascha Bachmann, trained at the National Circus School under the supervision of Yury Bozyan opened his Hidden Handstand Theatre in the heart of Vienna. For the next three months, you can join Coach Bachmann to learn what it means to be a great Artist. Bachmann has been in PIPPIN on Broadway and has taken the road with the show.

Andrew Lloyd Webbers show based on T.S. Elliotts Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats is still a record-breaker. The current Viennese production is playing in front of a full house seven times a week. We got the chance to sit down and talk about the show with Stephen Martin Allan Broadwayworld Austria Award Winner ( Best Supporting Actor in a Musical) who is giving his musical debut as the sparkling Mr. Mistoffelees.

Barbara Obermeier (Jellylorum/US Grizabella) and Stefan Konrad (Chairman of Nestwärme Austria) came up with the idea about doing a charity concert as a kickstart for NESTWÄRME in Austria after they ran into each other on the street. As Mondays are OFF-Days for Musical Actors in Vienna, there might be no better day to gather together some fine voices. Spending their only day off doing a concert for a good cause is something you never can take for granted. Obermeier and Konrad brought together an A-List of Top Acts, a few of them sadly had to cancel their performance due to sickness. Instead of cutting the set-list short, others took over some songs on a very short term. Charity Events are sometimes badly rehearsed and poorly staged. It takes a lot of tact and sensitivity and the right bunch of people when you want to create a night to remember. Konrad narrated through the evening with comedy and class. A first-class Conférencier who knows how to flirt with his audience in a charming way.

Rolando Villazón, one of the world's most handsome tenors together with the Ensemble L'Apreggiata under the baton of Christina Pluhar is bringing Monteverdi's masterpiece L`Orfeo to Vienna. Claudio Monteverdi's L`Orfeo the world's very first Opera can be seen as one if not the most important work in classic history. Orpheus myth is brought to live by Monteverdi's phenomenal creation. The concert has played only one performance before back in 2016 in Germany. Vienna and his historical background are perfect for a concert like this. Rolando Villazón a Multi-talented artist is not only one of the finest voices, in 2017 he was appointed as the ambassador of the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation and he was named as the artistic director of the Salzburg Mozart Week. L`Orfeo is based on the Greek legend of Orpheus and tells the story of his descent to Hades and his futile attempts to bring his dead bride Eurydice back to life.
