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

It's not over yet, our beloved theatres are still dark, most of us are stuck at home office, where there is no dress code, even not for video conferences. (which better should be) Artists all over the world are trying to get the most out of this crisis. (in a pure creative way) We got a bunch of beautiful home concerts, self recorded performances and funny duets and we enjoyed every single one. (Some more than others) Katrin Schweiger (Music) and Thomas Neuwerth (book) made a virtue out of necessity. They created HOME STAGE- THE ONLINE MUSICAL. Due to the restrictions and the fact, we all should stay at home, they made the best out of it writing an online Musical Series about a due to Corona-Virus canceled upcoming Musical. The Producers decided, that the director of the show (played by Reinwald Kranner) should held an online workshop with the possible cast members to keep the production alive. Directed by Gernot Kranner (famous for his creation of Professor Abronsius in the Original production of TANZ DER VAMPIRE), the actors are supposed to shot their parts in their homes, choreographed by Barbara Castka (curr. Demeter/CATS; Vienna) The very first episode will be aired on May 14th 8 p.m. CEST. Special Guests are announced as well for the upcoming episodes. One of them will be Maximilian Mann (curr. Genie in Disney's ALADDIN/Stuttgart) in Episode 2.

'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.

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.
