KU´DAMM 56 - Das Musical
What lasts a long time finally comes true! The ultimate Berlin musical "Ku'damm 56" will celebrate its premiere in November of the year.
When "Ku'damm 56" is broadcast on ZDF in 2016, a surprise happens: The fates of dance school owner Catherina Schöllack and her three daughters move not only those who lived through the 1950s, not only their children, but also their grandchildren*. The stories of Ku'damm fascinate across generations, the ZDF event, produced by UFA Fiction, is enthusiastically received by an audience of millions, in families 14-year-olds discuss the past with 80-year-olds, fan clubs form, and in streaming "Ku'damm 56" is still one of the most successful German productions today.
Between the economic miracle and rebellion, oppression and emancipation, in the lustful struggle for free, first and late love - now the stories of the Schöllack women take on a whole new dimension: multiple Grimme Award winner and author of the story, Annette Hess, sat down with Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer (the songwriting team for Rosenstolz, Max Raabe, Sarah Connor) and together they created the stage version of "Ku'damm 56 - the Musical."
For a year, in a wonderfully fruitful exchange, not only the scenes, the dialogues, the music were formed, but also the common feeling that these universal stories about women looking for their place in life need to be told especially today.
The musical is directed by Christoph Drewitz ("Die fabelhafte Welt der Amelie" / "Fack ju Göhte") and Jonathan Huor is responsible for the spectacular choreography.
