Martin Ganeider

Martin Ganeider, born in the beautiful mountains of Austria (not so Sound of music as some might think), fell in love with Musical theatre when he found a Vinyl from the Austrian production of CATS. 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

What did our critic think of FOOTLOOSE THE MUSICAL at Stadthalle Wien? Remember those days when dancing in Bomont was prohibited, and we watched the young Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack, giving it all for the sake of dancing and all the unfortunate souls in this prim little town. Of course, there wasn't much dancing in the movie, but it was exhilarating when they burst into it.

Leonard Bernstein's masterpiece, Candide, is back in Vienna for a strictly limited run. Based on Voltaire's 18th-century novel, Bernstein created a so-called comic operetta, or as some might say, a musical in an old-fashioned way. You may call it whatever you want. At the end of the evening, it is a beautifully crafted piece of art.

There might be no better place for a university for music and arts than in the heart of Vienna, surrounded by historical buildings where the greatest composers of all time have been strolling around. Unsurprisingly, many now-famous musical actors, like the latest newcomer, Moritz Mausser (ROCK ME AMADEUS's Leading Man), were trained at this prestigious institution. Getting the chance to see future graduates perform in front of an audience is something you definitely can't miss. Seeing the (potential) future of Musical Theatre is always worth a visit.

The Belgian-born Singer/Composer found his second home fifteen years ago in Vienna. He has been part of numerous musical productions and played some leading roles (like Old Deuteronomy in the latest Vienna CATS production). Apart from his OnStage career, Six has written a couple of Musicals (Wenn Rosenblätter fallen, Ein wenig Farbe, Luna, Die Mädchen von Oostende, Namen an der Wand, Weihnachtsengel küsst man nicht, Mord auf Sendung, Finder, Ein Date zu fünft, and Künstler unbekannt) and founded the Theatercouch in Vienna. Rory Six has made himself a name on and offstage in the German-speaking Musical area. Six had a significant impact on the Off-Musical scene in Vienna. His Theatercouch was the #1 adress for highly anticipated Off-productions. It feels like only yesterday when Six presented his first Musical; what a joy and a profoundly and honestly touching experience. Of course, it is time to celebrate his career and birthday.

What did our critic think of DIRTY DANCING THE ORIGINAL LIVE ON TOUR at WIENER STADTHALLE? 'No one puts baby in a corner.' One of the most iconic movie quotes of all time, embossed by Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle. The movie became a phenomenon, but it took years to convince Eleanor Bergstein to transfer it into a Live Action experience. Bergstein hesitated, but after all, she decided it was time for audiences to become a part of the story they love.

Visiting a club like the famous U4 Club during the day might be rather unusual, but what was once a second home to Falco, aka Hans Hölzl, is probably the best choice to present the cast of the highly anticipated in-house production of the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien. A historical place, filled with his stories.
