They'll still be able to read it, they just can't type it, unless they switch over their keyboard

Bin schwer beeindruckt, es gibt wenige Amerikaner die fluessig eine zweite Sprache sprechen koennen, ausser villeicht Spanisch!

In Bayern! Wie schön, da hat's mich auch gerade hin verschlagen...

@ alle:
Postet mal, warum ihr euch hier rumtreibt!

Ich fang mal an:
Nicht zu letzt, weil ich selber mich mit dem Schreiben von neuen Musicals und dem Übersetzen von amerikanischen beschäftige, will ich natürlich immer sehen, was am Broadway los ist - schließlich ist hier nicht so viel los, zumindest nicht meinem Geschmack entsprechend...

First off, I live in Chicago USA but I've been around the globe a bit.

The Stuttgart Ballet is one of the world's finest ballet companies. They were considered miraculous in the 70s and 80s.

Have they bee doing tours to the US then, Glebb? I unfortunately haven't been seeing them yet. Well, the Ballet of the Berlinian opera's isn't bad either actually.


oh, and by the way: I am from Berlin.

Yes, they tour USA.
They came to the MET in the mid 70s and that's when everyone realized the miracle. Marcia Haydee was their great ballerina at the time. My company in NYC did a lot of their ballets. That is another reason I am so familiar with them.
Yes, Germany has a lot of good ballet.

We have several Broadcasting Stations who have their own ballet for Shows - it's called "Fernsehballet". They are engaged to dance in every show, which involves music.
And we have schools for it, too.

Martin?

I just discovered the classica channel on Premiere and it's fantastic. They were showing La Boheme and also this one ballet about this doll coming to life... that was amazing making me wish I would have let my mom talk me into taking ballet when I was little...

lol, M.Berger, that would be a by far better idea than the horrible Aida that gets to Berlin soon.

Well, I wish we had half as good "new" musicals in europe as we did or do have ballet companies.

Glebb, who is that question for?

#23

re: Willkommen/Welcome

Posted: 5/27/06 at 2:41pm

The BWW members living in Germany (or anywhere other than the USA).
Broadway is far away for them.

I have parents who partly worked, partly work in musical theatre, so I got the bug there.
At some time I got to see a performance of My Fair Lady which my father conducted. Next day I started to write songs myself, lol, so the legend states.
What about the others?

Posted: 5/27/06 at 2:43pm

Well, for me it was seeing my first Broadway show in New York...

Not too exiting. But I know there are lots of Germans who are OBSESSED with some of the German musicals and their performers. There are many German message boards like this were the equivalent of Idina Menzel would probably be a guy name Uwe Kroeger who has many crazies following him...
