Feature: GINO EMNES LION KING 21st ANNIVERSARY APPRECIATION at Hamburg
Long Live The King
Disney's The Lion King is celebrating its 21st anniversary in Hamburg/Germany. The show brought many artists from around the world to Germany for the first time. Thanks to the King, many of them found a new home in the German-speaking area and are still playing Leading Roles throughout Germany and Austria. Gino Emnes (currently Aaron Burr in Hamilton/Hamburg) recorded a special version of Endlose Nacht (Endless Night) to honor the show's success and his relationship with it.
Together with Vic Anthony and Riccardo Haerri, Emnes created a beautiful hommage to the King, arranged by Hamiltons Musical Director Philipp Gras. (The Hamburg #HAMFAM)

Obituary: Caspar Richter Has Passed AwayFebruary 2, 2023
The German Musical Community is grieving the loss of one of the VBW's founding fathers, Caspar Richter, who passed away last night. Richter has been involved in productions like A Chorus Line, Les Miserables, The Phantom Of The Opera, Freudiana, Elisabeth, Mozart, Jekyll, and Hyde, Chicago, Rebecca, and Mel Brooks, The Producers, to name a few. Our Musical World wouldn't have been the same without his second-to-none passion.
Review: HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH at DAS VINDOBONAJanuary 11, 2023
What did our critic think of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH at DAS VINDOBONA? The Glam-Rock Musical Sensation with Music and Lyrics by Stephen Trask and a Book by John Cameron Mitchell is back in Austria for a limited run at the Vindobona. What a way to start the year. After Hedwig's first appearance in 2006, starring Andreas Bieber in the Leading Role and Anke Fielder as Yitzhak and the highly acclaimed production at the Landestheater Linz with Riccardo Greco in Heels and Ariana Schirasi-Fard as his Backup-Singer it's Drew Sarich together with his wife Ann Mandrella, to tell the story of Hansel Schmidt and his Angry Inch.
