Die 13 1/2 Leben des Käpt'n Blaubär - Cologne - November 29th 2006

 

There was no way I could have missed this rather special show. It was Nik Breidenbach's last show. Despite the fact that it was rather sad to see him go I still enjoyed the show just as much as I did the other times I saw it. Blaubär is really an amazing new musical - full of energy and with a totally fantastic cast.

 

Blaubär: Björn Klein

I haven't even seen Sven Prüwer in the role... and to be honest I'm not sure if I even want to. Björn is fantastic as Blaubär.... great voice and great acting. ;)

He has definitely become one of the reason I come back to see the show again and again.

 

Prof. Nachtigaller: Stefan Stara

So funny and so full of energy. I love the interaction with the audience! :)

 

Groot and Stollentroll: Nik Breidenbach

I only found out about 2 weeks earlier that he was leaving the cast. Sad to see him go as he was just perfect in his roles.

Superb performance once again. He looked a bit embarrassed at the end of the show though when the whole cast sang "Vertrau auf mich" for him on stage. ;)

 

Chemluth Havanna: Oliver Parchment

I enjoyed his role a lot more this time. Really funny and very strong on the vocal side! I love the way he says his lines.... ga! ;)

 

Wahnsinn and Yeti: Arthur Büscher

He did well but once again I didn't really like the characters he played. But - and I've said that before - this is not his fault.

 

Fredda and Tratschwelle: Barbara Tartaglia

Great, great... not to forget: great!! ;)

She is so fantastic in all her parts. You can see she is having a good time on stage. And what a voice! Once again an all in all brilliant performance!

 

Smeik and Tratschwelle: Pamela Zottele

She's really good as Smeik.... I can imagine it's quite hard to portray a character when you're wearing a rather huge costume that shows almost nothing of your face. Also a good performance as Tratschwelle.

 

16 U: Peggy Pollow

Cute, cuter, 16 U. :)

Her songs is one of my favourites in the whole show. One little "accident" in the scene inside the Bollock's head just before the "Wahnsinn" sings his song: Peggy ran across the stage and 16 U (in other words: Peggy's costume) got stuck on one of the other bad ideas which looked rather funny. She had to stop and free herself.

 

Blaubärin: Jasmin Madwar

She looks so cute with her blue costume. And I love her bright smile. :)

 

Akrobat: Benjamin Pfeiffer

Totally faultless - great show!

 

Ensemble: Jessie Roggemann, Daniela Grubert, Janine Tippl, Pascal Illi, Oliver Pauli, Tobias Roloff, Oliver Sekula, Jenny Winkler

All of them did really well. It still amazes me how they manage to play so many different characters in this show.

 

That's it for this time - but my next visits to this wonderful show are all planned and actually already booked.... Zamonien, you won't get rid of me anytime soon. ;)
