BWW Reviews: KISS ME, KATE schafft unterhaltsamen Openair-Abend in Bad Hersfeld
by Iris Moebius - Jul 31, 2014


Nach dem sensationellen Erfolg von „Show Boat" im letzten Jahr warteten die Bad Hersfelder Festspielen in diesem Jahr mit "Kiss Me, Kate" mit einem weiteren Klassiker auf. Das Musical aus der Feder von Cole Porter spielt hinter (und vor) den Kulissen einer musikalischen Inszenierung von Shakespeares "Der Widerspenstigen Zahmung". Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei Diva Lilli Vanessi (Katharina Mehrling), die nach langerer Zeit im Filmgeschaft wieder zu ihren Theaterwurzeln zuruckgehrt ist, um die Rolle der Kate an der Seite ihres ehemaligen Geliebten Fred (Thomas Borchert) zu spielen. Wie bei einer solch explosiven Besetzung kaum anders zu erwarten, kommt es am Premierenabend zu reichlich Konflikten zwischen den beiden, die auch das Geschehen auf der Buhne beeinflussen. Als Lilli frustriert mitten in der Auffuhrung abreisen will, kommen zwei Ganoven zur Hilfe, die finanzielles Interesse am Erfolg der Show haben. Sie uberzeugen Lilli mit nicht ganz lupenreinen Methoden davon zu bleiben.

by BWW News Desk - Mar 14, 2009


The Count of Monte Cristo at the Theatre of St.Gallen. Based on the success novel by Alexandre Dumas and a number of screen adaptations, the thrilling story now makes it to the stage as a musical for the first time. For this production the leading team around Broadway composer Frank Wildhorn was very much focused on bringing the emotions, passions, and the intense narrative style of the novel to life in the musical too. In its realisation, director Andreas Gergen combines raving fighting and fencing scenes, emotional moments, sweeping melodies, and a dramatic story-line within the framework of an impressive mise-en-sc?ne.
