What are our expectations of a musical about The Waltzking?
Nobody has followed in the footsteps of the Waltzstars Johann Strauß Senior (1804-1849) and Johann Strauß Junior (1825-1899, called "The Waltzking"). So, let's go back to the roots! Let us create the modern 21st century version of the dance of the youth! Let's forge a new waltzfever, a new waltzfashion. To set this exiting new trend of the musical will act as a www.worldwide launchpad. This will be a musical bomb, which explodes in the posh popworld.
The waltz was young, wild, came from working class roots and was often considered to be scandaleus and obscene.
In an age where we are invaded by television, computer games, hammered by thriller movies and used to erotica a spectator will only be arroused by the right mixture of finesse and poiniency. Persuing the elements of love, romance and fairytale in a intelligent way including irony and comedy.
To experience the rhythm and melody of the waltz is to find in yourself a new feeling of life. This is what we need today, music and dance that touches our hearts.
The Strauß melodies will remain recognicable to those already familiar and those who are not will enjoy them for the first time. The suprise is in the arrangements: hip, modern, forcing you to dance.
The choreographie portraits the feeling of love, a lambada of romance, a tango of classicism.
Quick paced scenes oszillate between reality and virtuality incorporating Video- and Lasertechnology.
The waltz wipped costumes are elegant, sexy and distressed making you wish you could buy one.
An authentique Austrian dance musical for the world stage where Strauß is a popstar.
