Martin Ganeider

At 16, he made a tough decision: quit Soccer and join a local ballet school. He loves to Dance and travel and is a coffee and sports addict. Martin can be seen on the  TANZSCHRITT TV YouTube channel. He is a member of the Austrian musical magazine MUSICALCOCKTAIL and was part of the UND BITTE podcast with Julia Vieregge and Konstantin Zander. You can find Martin at the theatre or on the running course. Martin loves to talk about Musical Theatre and sipping coffee.

Favorite Stories:

  • TITANIC THE MUSICAL - Because Director Simon Eichenberger created an epiphany on stage of the magnificant Landestheater Linz.
  • The Secret Party - Because of the genius of Jaques Brel and the likes of Ann Mandrella, Milica Jovanović, Matthias F. Trattner and Drew Sarich. An unforgettable evening i really enjoyed to write about.
  • HAMILTON The German Production - It has been the first non-English production, and to witness Lin-Manuel Miranda's masterpiece coming to live in German, which many people doubted to work out, was a once in a (Musical-Theatre) lifetime experience
  • CATS - Because it is CATS. I grew up with it and it has been the show to open and close during the Covid 19 Pandemic. It has been the first one to reopen with a special health-security protocoll. Again, something to remember, a very special show during a very special time.
  • MAMMA MIA ON TOUR - Because its been the first thing i have ever written for broadwayworld. The begining of a wonderful adventure

December 9, 2020

2020 wasn't what we expected it to be but let`s walk on full of hope and faith, 2021 should be a much better one. August 2021 might sound as far away as the emerald city but hey, at least we have something to get excited about. St. Margarethens Quarry, one of Europe`s imposing open-air arenas is hosting a musical concert spectacle. On the 10th of August, the likes of Ana Milva Gomes, Maya Hakvoort, Marjan Shaki, Missy May, Tertia Botha, Mark Seibert, Lukas Perman, Yngve-Gasoy Romdal, and Jan Ammann are going to set the stage on fire. Star Designer Niko Niko promised some extravagant costumes for this summer night spectacle. 2020 you have been like a miserable cast recording, 2021 sounds auspicious, let's bring it on! The quarry is always worth a trip and with this star-picked Cast it should definitely be on your 2021 bucket list. If you are still looking for a christmas present, grab some tickets and take a trip to St. Margarethen.

BWW Review: VINDOBONA OPENING GALA at Das Vindobona
BWW Review: VINDOBONA OPENING GALA at Das Vindobona
October 30, 2020

A splendid Gala in uncertain times like these, a rare gift. Wolfgang Ebner, the new owner of the culinary Variety Theater and Event Location, formally known as DAS VINDOBONA! The house in Vienna´s 20th District has been a part of Austria's entertainment and cabaret scene since the early '90s. From 2009 the owners of the famous Kabarett Simpl owned the Vindobona for some of their productions. Earlier this year, Wolfgang Ebner made the tough decision to buy the house, refurbish it and transform it into a top-class entertainment and dinner location. The Vindobona is like New York´s Don't Tell Mama, a bar, a restaurant, and a cabaret-like theatre. Ebner is exactly what the theater needs these days. A small chance of success, uncertain times ahead, many would say no and step away from a project like this but not Ebner. Crazy and brave enough to open the house with a varicolored program on the menu. From Dinner shows to Concerts, to Burlesque and Drag shows, magic nights, and many more, something for everyone's taste. Opening Nights are always special, the air is filled with a magical atmosphere, expectations are on a high amount. Since the Big C hit our world and took the theatre from us for quite a long time, we are even more thankful for some live entertainment. Back in the auditorium is like walking into the room at Christmas and facing the illuminated Christmas tree for the very first time. It's theatre, a live performance but of course with some restrictions.

BWW Review: CATS at RONACHER THEATRE
BWW Review: CATS at RONACHER THEATRE
September 25, 2020

It's been a while since the Ronacher Theatre in Vienna invited us to the Jellicle Ball. Six months, two weeks, and one day later, after the whole country went into a never before seen Lockdown. CATS is back, the theatre is back, a glimpse of light in these dark and unpredictable times.

BWW Review: SWEET CHARITY at Vienna Volksoper
BWW Review: SWEET CHARITY at Vienna Volksoper
September 14, 2020

Of course, it's different but let's hope for the best, it will stay with us from now on. Things have changed, getting into the theater and into your seat might be different but hey, you still get the chance to enjoy live theatre and that's rare these days. Chapeau to the Vienna Volksoper and their team. Their Covid-19 prevent concept made it possible to reopen the house again. SWEET CHARITY, the Musical based on Fellini's movie 'Nights of Cabiria', is telling the story of the taxi dancer Charity Hope Valentine. When you are talking about SWEET CHARITY names like Bob Fosse, Gwen Verdon, Shirley MacLaine are coming to your mind. Fosse created a masterpiece, his choreographies are something unique, and of course something you can't replicate. Director Johannes von Matuschka and his Choreographer Damian Czarnecki decided to create something un-Fosse. When you are used to Rich Mans Frug's Magic and all the Fosse Stuff, you might be disappointed. Nevermind the dance numbers are entertaining bur forget the missing Fosse magic. Enjoy the star of the evening. Austria's very own Lisa Habermann, starring as Charity Hope Valentine is something you can't miss this theatre season, undoubtful a first-class Leading Lady. Habermann is the Charity HOPE Valentine of our time! Charmingly, cheeky, and adorable from the very first minute. Peter Lesiak's performance as Oscar Lindquist brought back memories from the days when Mel Brooks THE PRODUCERS was in town and he was performing his heart out as Leo Bloom. Seems like nothing has changed since then. He is as brilliant as ever. The cast is full of first-class artists like Caroline Frank ( Helene), Julia Koci (Nickie), or Drew Sarich ( Daddy Brubeck) who was dressed as a mash-up from Hedwig and Frank'n Furter a transcendent preacher in a surreal staging. The show lost some of its tempo in Act 2, it felt like slowing down after Drew Sarich's psychedelic performance.

Dear diary, Corona is still dominating the world but some things are getting back to some sort of normal, slowly but constantly. I have to say it out loud what we all are feeling right now. Dear theatre, we bloody miss you. The excitement on the way to the theatre, the smell when we get into the building, the pure enjoyment of a live performance, and everything about it, we miss it but where is hope is also light. Robert Meyer, Viennas Volksoper Director set up 9 different concerts for the end of June for an audience of only 100. The concerts got sold out immediately.

Dear diary, here is another one for us. The likes of Bettina Bogdany (Jessica), Gloria Wind (Andrea), Gernot Romic (Gavin), and Konstantin Zander (Billy & Brooks), together with Philipp Bindreiter (Drums), Bela Fischer (Piano & Arrangement) and Walter Walterson (Bass) got something for our ears. They recorded something from a very special album, maybe one of the best ones to enjoy after a busy day at work. THAT SMILE from John Bucchinos IT'S ONLY LIFE. Sit back, relax, and enjoy. Stay healthy, we are all in this together and we will come out of it, together! Stay strong and don't forget to smile.

Dear diary, the virus ( from this day on I refuse to say the name of the virus out loud like Harry Potter has done it with Vo.... you know who) is still dancing through our lives and got mostly everything on hold. Our way back to (next to) normal is like a bus ride down a bumpy long road into the unknown. (sorry not sorry for the catchy tune) Since the world is in a Lockdown for quite a while, we got used to wearing masks in public and dressing up properly for Home Office Video Conferences. Here might be another great opportunity to dress up. Robino Rich, well know TV-Host (Backstage reports for DISNEY, STAGE ENTERTAINMENT, and others) and Youtuber, presents a 90 Minute Musical Concert called RICHIE'S MUSICAL SHOW with the likes of Anja Backus, Gino Emnes, Richard Fuchs, Lisa Antoni, Maren Somberg, Marcella Adema, Maricel Wölk, Ornella de Santis, Raphael Groß, and Yvonne Köstler. The concert will take place on June 7th, at 7 p.m. CEST on Youtube. To enter the 'show' you need to buy a ticket ( and of course put on something beautiful for a special night at your living room) click here to find out more.
