The VBW has just announced that Sister Act will replace Tanz der Vampire in Wien which will close on June 2011. www.musicalvienna.at/index.php/de/presse/article/69749I hope Ich war noch niemals in New York when replaced is by a decent show...otherwise Wien won't have for the first time I can recall a single decent show on stage... |

Hmm, I'd have hoped that the vampires would have continued longer. Sure, two years is good, but they're selling so well... And now I'm going to be in a hurry if I want to try to see Tanz there, and I'm still having difficulty scraping together the funds for it, since it's not as high on my priority list as the Budapest production. And it's kind of sad if the shows they have running in big theatres in Vienna consist of a jukebox musical and a musical based on a movie, so I agree with you in hoping that IWNNINY will be replaced by something decent. You know, something actually featuring original music and composed for stage.
(Yes, before someone points it out, I know Tanz was originally based on a movie, too. It's just been adapted on stage so well that I tend to forget it. I do not hold out too much hope that all shows adapted from movies are like that.)

I agree.
MORE, Tanz wasn't drasticaly changed, while Sister Act was. I love the movies but I can't stand the stage version. It just doesn't make sense.
I also thought that IWNNINY would close first. I would love to lay my eyes on the regists of tickets sales to both shows. I know IWNNINY is a success but still...

Oh, no!  If IWNNINY is still running next Fall, my trip to Vienna will be lowered in quality... I wanted to see a VBW show while there (actually one of the reasons why I wanted to go), but if it's going to be a jukebox musical and low-quality English-language transfer, NO THANK YOU. (I'll still got to Vienna, obviously, since I know there are so many fantastic things to see and do there, besides). |
