Review: A SHOW LARGER THAN LIFE at Hamburger Börs
Opening night the 21 st of September
By: Annette Stolt Sep. 25, 2023
When Hamburger Börs opens its doors after the summer break, they have dusted off the boy band era and updated to 2023. You look back all the way to The Temptations, there will be a little Jackson 5 and Michael Jackson but mainly it is boy bands such as Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, Westlife, One Direction and New Kids On The Block which is highlighted in a hit cavalcade that most people can probably sing along to. A tribute to the boy bands but also the hit makers who, among others, Dennis Pop and Max Martin are celebrated, those who are part of the great Swedish musical wonder.
David Lindgren, Borie René Lumbana, Greg Curtis, Kenny Lantz and Marco Whilborg offer a fast-paced show where the chorus and dance steps fit as they should. To reinforce the boy band feeling, Erik Segerstedt and Mattias Andreason from E.M.D are in the band together with Mathilda Fritzell, Kalle Persson under the direction of bandmaster Kristian Kraftling.
Super stylish show with delicious lighting that really enhances the show and creates an overall feel, retro and contemporary at the same time.
This is nostalgia and energy that can't be resisted - a show where you really want to dance along - boybands back again! A show that lights up the autumn gloom that is beginning to descend upon us.
