LOVE NEVER DIES is having its German language premiere at the moment. The semi-staged concert is temporarily taking the place of LEGALLY BLONDE at the Ronacher theater. It is supported by a 70 piece orchestra (the VBW's huge resident group). ELISABETH is still playing, so I am assuming subs are playing in the pit there. The cast was in fine voice and acting spirit. The ensemble had a West End production alum, Kieran Braun, and longtime Vienna Christine of the original (which ran 1988-1993) Colleen Bassett.
The German cast of ROCKY, led by Drew Sarich, recently performed a a medley of 'Eye Of The Tiger,' 'Fight From The Heart,' Gonna Fly Now' on national television and had a little help from the original heavyweight, Sylvester Stallone - click here to check it out!
Intendant Christian Struppeck prasentiert auch 2013 wieder ein großes Musicalkonzert-Highlight und holt Andrew Lloyd Webbers Meisterwerk LOVE NEVER DIES erstmals in deutscher Sprache in konzertanter Fassung nach Wien ins Ronacher.
Nach der konzertanten Auffuhrung von DAS PHANTOM DER OPER letztes Jahr, bringt Struppeck 2013 nun die Fortsetzung dieses erfolgreichsten Musicals aller Zeiten
Nach uber einem Jahrzehnt erfolgreicher Herrschaft in Deutschland verabschieden sich die Vampire am 25. August aus ihrer derzeitigen Statte im Theater des Westens. Als besonderen Clou und mitunter auch als Abschiedsgeschenk an die Fans, uberraschte die Exekutive mit funf verschiedenen Grafen in funf Vorstellungen. So waren zwischen dem aktuellen Grafen Ivan Ozhogin, auch Kevin Tarte und die Zweitbesetzungen Florian Soyka und Udo Eickelmann zu sehen.
Fur eine Nacht, fur einen Biss... kehrt Graf Drew zuruck zu TANZ DER VAMPIRE. Der Countdown lauft: Am 25. August wird die Gruft endgultig geschlossen und versiegelt, dann verlassen die Vampire Deutschland!
Die Vereinigten Buhnen Wien freuen sich sehr, Musicalstar und Publikumsliebling Drew Sarich in der Rolle des „Phantoms' in LOVE NEVER DIES - der Folgeshow zu DAS PHANTOM DER OPER - in konzertanter Fassung fur 8 Termine nach Wien ins Ronacher holen zu konnen.
The world premiere of Rocky took place November 18 in Hamburg under the direction of PETER AND THE STARCATCHER Tony nominee Alex Timbers. It will transfer to Broadway in Feburary 2014. Check out the pre-Broadway commercial below!
The paper reports that 'the Broadway version is expected to cost about $15 million, according to Bill Taylor of Stage Entertainment USA, which is producing 'Rocky' on Broadway with Mr. Stallone.' and that 'The Broadway production is expected to be fairly similar to the one in Hamburg, Mr. Taylor said, including the finale - Rocky's climatic fight against Apollo in a regulation-size boxing ring - and the use of music from the movies, like Bill Conti's theme music and 'Eye of the Tiger.'
Immediately, speculation began at what might replace MAMMA MIA! in the theatre, which was previously home to CATS. Today, Michael Riedel reports that Broadway might see a Spring transfer of the ROCKY musical, now running in Germany. He writes that '"Rocky das Musical" cost $20 million to stage in Germany. Sources say the price tag could hit nearly $30 million in New York. With so much money to recoup, the show would inevitably have to land at one of Broadway's largest theaters.'
