Rockin' History in Halle: "Tod auf dem Thron - Das Klosical"
"Prince Singer's 'Klosical' - No Peaceful Symphony"
!'ve got some news, rock and roll fans! The legendary Prince guitarist, Tobias Künzel (60), is bringing his newest creation to Halle, Germany. After its London debut, "Death On The Throne - The Loosical" is now titled "Tod auf dem Throne - Das Klosical" and ready to rock your world!
A Star-Studded Stage Spectacle
Prepare to witness a whopper of an ensemble as Künzel and co-author Mark Underwood deliver an entertaining mix of historical powerhouses on the stage. Elvis Presley, Queen Elizabeth II, Margaret Thatcher, and yes, even Erich Honecker are all set to make noteworthy appearances. Two actors, four puppeteers, and a live band will guarantee non-stop entertainment, with Künzel manning the drums behind the scenes.
The play's title came about in a most peculiar fashion. Künzel explains, "We were drinking in a pub, and after our third round, we decided to write a musical. I'd just come from the toilet and said, ‘It'll be a Loosical.’"
From the Lavatory to Your Living Room
The translation from English to German presented some challenges for Künzel, as the language of music is said to have a softer, more melodic sound. "German always sounds a bit harsher and more scratchy. But the German version does have a few jokes that the English one doesn't," he shared with a knowing smile.
Curious about what will make German audiences laugh? You'll have to catch the show to find out! Mark Underwood, Künzel's collaborator, will be eagerly awaiting the premiere to see the unique responses from the crowd.
