BWW Review: LADY IN THE DARK at Vienna Volksoper
by Martin Ganeider - December 20, 2021
Lady In The Dark with Music by Kurt Weil, Lyrics by Ira Gershwin, and book by Moss Hart finally raised his curtain for Opening Night. The so-called Musical Play can be seen as an inspiration for many others, like Kander and Ebb. Instead of a huge Overture, you get dragged into a very intimate dialogue between the Leading Lady Liza Elliot ( wonderfully played by Volksopers very own Julia Koci) and her therapist, Dr. Brooks (Robert Meyer).

BWW Review: MUSICAL MONDAY at Schloss Vösendorf
by Martin Ganeider - October 19, 2021
Musicals on Monday? Normally the theatres are dark and the actors are enjoying their well-deserved day off, not so in Vösendorf, one of Austria's richest municipals. Denise Jastraunig ( curr. US Jellylorum, Jennyanydots, CATS/Vienna) has been talking about the concert idea for a while, and she found a wonderful place for the (hopefully) concert series named MUSICAL MONDAY. Together with Silke Braas-Wolter, Lucius Wolter ( curr. US Gus, Old Deuteronomy; CATS/Vienna), and Florian Fetterle (curr. US Munkustrap, Gus, Old Deuteronomy; CATS/Vienna) Jastraunig found the perfect mix for an entertaining evening with songs from shows, old and new. One of Vienna's most famous piano players, Belush Korenyi accompanied the four in Schloss Vösendorfs vaulted cellar, a charming location, just outside of Vienna. Musical Monday's audience honored their performance with standing ovations. Every good musical concert needs a song that goes like this and something from the jukebox to end the evening on a high. Let's hope for some more Mondays filled with musical melodies and many more of Jastraunig's colleagues on the guest list. A good start to something new.

BWW Review: WE ARE MUSICAL at RAIMUND THEATER
by Martin Ganeider - September 27, 2021
The Raimund Theater is open again, more beautiful than ever before. After almost 2 years of refurbishment, the house is ready to welcome back its audience. There might be no better way to open a house with a splendid gala. A journey through the theatre's history from operetta to the golden area of musicals with familiar faces on stage. VBW's very own artistic director, Christian Struppeck, the Master of the house together with Musical Diva Ana Milva Gomes acted as the hosts of the gala. The stage has been home to many great actors from past and present. Many shows have been developed in the house in Viennas 6th district, some of them went down as the greatest musicals in Austrian musical history. Being part of the Reopening from such a historical and magical place is like a once-in-a-lifetime event. Celebrities together with musical theatre lovers followed Struppeck's invitation to the Grand Reopening.
