lol, I nearly hate him. He is the exact example of what's gone wrong in Germany's taste in terms of musicals. He's sung nearly every role of badly written German musicals on the one hand and Lloyd Webber shows on the other hand. Ugh!

I know I was thinking the same thing when people listed the roles he played for me... My exact thought was: Are there no other male performers in Germany so they HAVE to make this guy play EVERY single role, wether he's right for it or not?

Yessica?
Ich weiß nicht woher du weißt, dass ich martin heiße, aber vielleicht denkst du, dass ich der Musicaldarsteller bin, der so heißt. Bin ich zwar nicht, heiße aber trotzdem Martin ...
Ja, Ballett hat was, ich habe auch mal Ballett gemacht, aber da war ich vierte Klasse... Billy bin ich also nicht geworden...

The question about love for broadway:
My "love" started with doing musicals at my school, which you don't have to expect as beeing as professionally done as big Hogh School Musicals (we neither had good voice training nor proper mics or anything). Later on a good friend of mine an me started to write musicals together - he allready was into broadway very much and showed me the "big world of broadway", including this website
And: I met my last girl friend at CHICAGO (the movie)

I love ETHAN FREEMAN as well!!!! He's just so bad.

Frage an die anderen Deutschen: Warum sprechen alle deutschen Musicaldarsteller amerikanischen Akzent, obwohl sie keine Amerikaner sind?

Yessica, it's just that every long running production obviously feels, they have to get him into the cast to attract those square musical fans or even tourists. As far as I read at some point he even has a lot of fan clubs far away from Germany, I think even in Japan.

Machen sie echt? Das ist bestimmt witzig!

Yessica - ich bin bei musicalzentrale.de tatsächlich angemeldet, habe da aber glaube ich noch nie weiter gepostet... hmm... Bist du da im Team?

Crazy stuff. I saw a video of him performing something from Elisabeth and Phantom on youtube.com, and he was okay, but nothing too special...

Posted: 5/27/06 at 2:52pm

Gruselig ist es, vor allem weil es so ein überkandidelter amerikanischer Akzent ist. Und das egal, woher sie kommen oder welche Rolle sie spielen. Manchmal denk ich, sie sollten Musicals nur in der originalsprache spielen...

[YessicaB]

Posted: 5/27/06 at 2:54pm

Aber das waere auch furchtbar, stell dir mal all die Original Englisch Sprachigen Musicals vor wie sie mit dickem deutschen Akzent gesungen werden....urgh...

Martin hast ne PM

The Stuttgart Ballet played New York as early as 1973. I saw them in Swan Lake at The Met...

I am always so jealous of people who can dance...
I have no dancing ability what so ever..

[FranklinShepard-Inc.]

You still can learn that, YessicaB, with a little training. well, a lot maybe. But as for musicals not all actor's can really dance very good.

[YessicaB]

Posted: 5/27/06 at 3:09pm

I know and I will have to start taking dance...
But you know as with everything in life there's only so much you can do to help someone with NO natural ability...

Ah, come on, it can't possibly be that bad. To say it with Dame Julie Andrews in Victor/Victoria: There are still some professions where practice makes perfect.

The Cranko ballets are excellent.

[YessicaB]

Posted: 5/27/06 at 3:16pm

I love you Franklin...
Let's put it this way... My first attempt to dance was in a class where we were taught a combination from Hairspray and everybody else had been dancing for awhile and I pretty much just tried to move the same direction as them...
You know like the girl in A Chorus Line when they do the ballet combination and she can't do ballet...?

So this thread has nothing to do with "Cabaret"?

Willommen, Bien Venue, Welcome...

No, nothing...

[YessicaB]

Posted: 5/27/06 at 3:19pm

No, no, just stick around we were just about to paint Berger's nipples...

Ooh, I think I will.

One brick at a time, YessicaB, and I didn't say you become a Ballet virtuoso within minutes. But it is always possible to improve. But since Hairspray is not such an old show, you can't be an old ballet veteran by now So, don't lose faith in it...
