Mummenschanz 1977

This time, the reader question was: Have there been many Broadway musicals starring only two actors, before Gutenberg! The Musical!?

Sangamon Auditorium at the University of Illinois Springfield presents Mummenschanz 'you & me' on Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 3:00 pm in the UIS Sangamon Auditorium as a part of the Visiting Artist Series. Tickets to the show are on sale now for $27, $31, $43; youth prices are also available. Contact the Ticket Office at (217) 206-6160 or visit SangamonAuditorium.org.

For over four decades, Mummenschanz has been inspiring audiences around the world with their wordless but extremely poetic art. On February 11 at 3:00pm they bring their brand-new creation, you & me, to The Soraya.  This program was in collaboration with Tina Kronis and Richard Alger, created by founding member Floriana Frassetto.  This visually stunning spectacle celebrates the timeless love and mutual joy between the audience and performers.

Over 45 years after its founding, the Swiss mime troupe Mummenschanz continues to captivate audiences around the world with its creative performances. With unique characters and innovative use of movement, the troupe has revolutionized the world of nonverbal performance. Their all-new production, you & me, explores human communication without words.

Founder of MUMMENSCHANZ Floriana Frassetto discusses the troupe's upcoming New York engagement, as well as their currently running US tour.

Broadway producer Arthur Shafman passed away July 28, 2014. He was 75.

People usually think I'm joking when I tell them that one of my favorite original Broadway cast albums is the one for the Swiss mime troupe, Mummenschanz.  But yes, they did record an album; one of audience reactions during a live performance at the sadly-gone Bijou Theatre during their 1977 three-year run.  The vinyl LP is even divided into bands and the liner notes tell you exactly which routines the crowd is laughing at and applauding for.

Perfect for both the young and the young at heart, legendary Swiss troupe Mummenschanz returns to Philadelphia after an ten year absence to perform 3 x 11, a retrospective piece that features the troupe's most beloved, imaginative and humorous characters from over the years, as well as some newer original material.
