VIDEO: 2013 Solid Sound Festival Takes Leaf from Wonka's Book with Golden Ticket Contest

Anyone who has ever attended the Solid Sound Festival knows the parallels to Willy Wonka's famed mythical chocolate factory are easy to draw. The Wilco-created three-day festival takes place June 21-23 at the playfully exotic MASS MoCA, a large-scale contemporary art museum in North Adams, MA. Over three days and nights, alongside a full and varied program of live music and comedy, festival-goers can stargaze with a noted astronomer, learn to restore an axe (the Paul Bunyan kind) and learn about birds of prey firsthand. Fittingly, the festival has now teamed with Brooklyn small-batch chocolate makers Mast Brothers to present a limited-run Solid Sound Festival chocolate bar, complete with a golden ticket prize contest. Watch a fun promo video for the contest below!

BWW Reviews: 'Friedrich - Das Musical' Metropolis Halle Potsdam

Ein Musical über Friedrich den Großen zu schreiben und zu produzieren lässt mutmassen das im Jubiläumsjahr des deutschen Kaisers ein mini bisschen wirtschaftliches Kalkül hinter diesem Projekt steckt. Nun wurde in der Vergangenheit über die verschiedensten Persönlichkeiten ein Musical geschrieben, das mal sehr gut ('Elisabeth', 'Evita', 'Rudolf'), mal weniger gut ('Bernadette', 'JFK: The Rock Opera', 'Marilyn: An American Fable') funktioniert hat. Leider beweist diese Adaption, dass man nicht mit jedem Material einen musikalischen Geniestreich zaubern kann.
