A Grusical at year-end
Whenever the calendar is very thin, it urges Dilein aunt, uncle to stimulate Something funny. Aunt Dilein namely fear nothing so much as Uncle's occasional bouts of depression year-end. Especially with the annual changes from 1999 to 2000 and from 2000 to 2001, these attacks extremely bad. There have also been in the past two year, in which Uncle cope with the threat of job loss and was therefore not too happy mind was.
approached Now including the year 2011, and Aunt Dilein was desperately looking for a hook with which she could uncle out fishing from the deep or the year allowed her to prevent Uncle hineinschlitterte too much into the drop. Uncle had allowed himself to give for Christmas while a remote-controlled helicopter, but this was too often gedotzt against the wall and therefore urgently needed spare parts - which is why Uncle impatiently from one foot to the other came in and waited for the postman.
now sought Dilein desperate for a solution and suggested that the uncle to go together to Stuttgart in the musical. Fortunately, ran in Stuttgart after a long break once again the "Dance of the Vampires" with the immortal bombastic rock music by Jim Steinman. Although had uncle and aunt are Dilein this musical already three times viewed - once even on their honeymoon a few weeks after the world premiere in Vienna - but is there uncle much to the bombastic rock of Mr. Steinman (among other hits like "Total Eclipse of the Heart "vernudelte for the piece), which seemed a very good solution to be to cheer up the dear uncle.
It's also a bit ironic that Uncle, who has actually nothing of the dark gothic goth per se (which are usually very thin and pale, wearing nothing but black and smoke-stop, all things related to Uncle apply not now), all things, a musical with a vampire theme so much like it. That is after all something for which I have often mentioned in this blog half-baked teenagers every six months are subscribed to the latest "Twilight" book. Uncle loves just enter the bombastic rock music, and the greatest danger to the public is that he is the best places loudly singing along, because he knows so well the musical (he even has a song book at home with the notes).
It was - I would here premise just - grandiose: Jan Ammann won as a vampire Count Krolock and probably with his appearance and his voluminous voice so some lady getting them to drop him blessed unconsciousness - when tightly laced corsets and hoop skirts on today's women would fashion. However, the uncle can not help feeling that was in the New Year's Eve performance in some places very pressed up a gear - just as Professor Sven Prüwer Abronsius rattled his part down so fast that the common listener no longer really came along. Probably urged the management of the apparently very much the declining SI-Centrum that the musical public at the latest eight out of the house had to be to the guests of the then planned New Year's Eve not to stand on their feet. Other way to explain it does not require that there were standing ovations in spite of the enthusiastic audience Musical no addition of the part of the performer team. had seen at the recent musical performances, the uncle and aunt Dilein, because that was normal.
And so it was no more talk of New Year's Depression! Uncle and aunt Dilein sang happily driving home at the most beautiful musical passages - the aunt Dilein namely by heart also can - and at home they listened again to the total intake. Then it was already twelve years old and over. And then I watch uncle, as it should be, forward!
is an interesting side aspect is that "Dance of the Vampires" in Europe is an incredibly successful musical and straight to many German locations for years was on, and it was received in New York as the most expensive flop in Broadway history. An enlightening article on this subject can be read in the English Wikipedia . Uncle keeps "Dance of the Vampire" for the best pop musical at all - even better than the more operatic "Phantom of the Opera" as the unnerving "Cats" and the skating show "Starlight Express". A good decision for the New Year also!
