So sehr sich Maria auch bemüht, eine gute Nonne wird sie nie werden. Das bemerkt auch die Mutter Oberin und schickt die ADHSlerin zur Familie von Trapp, die eine neue Gouvernante für ihre sieben Kinder sucht. Marias loses Mundwerk bringt ihr Ärger, aber auch Anerkennung ein. Sie sorgt dafür, dass die Kinder ein Jahr nach dem Tod der Mutter endlich wieder Spaß haben, und übergeht damit mehr als nur einmal das strenge Regiment des Vaters. Dieser lässt sich sein Herz nach und nach erweichen, vor allem weil Maria auch die Musik wieder ins Haus bringt. Musik, die, wie es zu jedem ordentlichen Musical gehört, zu keinem Zeitpunkt weiter als fünf Minuten entfernt zu sein scheint. Der Hausherr löst seine eigentliche Verlobung auf, um sich ganz Maria zu widmen; und auch die Kinder lieben sie über alles. Sie werden von einem Freund der Familie überredet, ihre Musikalität auf der Bühne auszuleben und alles scheint ein Happy End in Salzburg zu nehmen, das man schon auf 700 km aus Berlin hat kommen sehen. Aber nein! Nein! Der Film nimmt hier eine düstere Wendung, um Tiefe zu erlangen! Während im ersten Teil die Romanze zwischen Maria und dem Hausherrn beleuchtet wird, schlägt in der letzten halben Stunde die Nationalsozialistische Realität der end- 30er n aller Härte zu und die von Trapps beschließen über die Berge zu fliehen um nicht in die Hände der Nazis zu geraten. Einige der berühmtesten Songs der Filmgeschichte kommen aus diesem Musical. Unter anderem ein Song der den Kindern Musiktheorie auf niedrigschwelligste Weise beibringt. Do Re Mi. Plor du hattest eine Anleitung zum singen. Kannst du s jetzt? Willst du uns diesen Song einmal zum besten geben?

MusicalTalk continues its exploration of the many and varied ways that war and conflict can be portrayed in the world of musical theatre.  This week, Thos revisits a remarkable piece of verbatim musical theatre (itself a rare and unusual form) created to mark the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War, which explored 100 years of the British involvement in battle through the musicalisation of real testimony from actual participants.  And as the video of the show remains viewable on YouTube, it's a musical you can still watch as well as hear all about.   

It's time to head ‘Into The Woods' as we discuss the 2014 film version of the Sondheim musical. An all star cast including Meryl Streep, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine and Emily Blunt play out the story inspired by the Grimms Brother's fairytales. The film is centred on a Baker and his wife who setto end a curse placed on them by Witch looking for revenge. Tune in and watch out for the Giantess!

Uli Scherbel hat sich einen Kindheitstraum erfüllt und wurde Musical-Star. Über zwanzig Jahre lang sang, tanzte und spielte er in allen großen Musicals, trat für Udo Jürgens auf und setzte sich immer wieder bei Castings gegen tausende Mitbewerber durch. Vor einigen Jahren hat er die Bühnenbretter gegen die Arbeit als Pfleger auf einer Palliativstation in Regensburg getauscht. Was ihn an dem Beruf besonders erfüllt, was er von Sterbenden lernt und welche Parallelen es zwischen Bühne und Sterbemomenten gibt, das erzählt Uli Scherbel bei Thorsten Otto. 

Join Thos as he continues his look at the amazingly varied way that musical theatre has approached war and its consequences. This week he revisits Enigma, a show about the American experience of wartime code-breaking and the real life (and death) consequences of doing it.  With songs and music from the piece, hear composer, Hedda Rustad Carlsen and Thos discuss this all female written and acted show which throws a light on a long overlooked area of American wartime history. An enigma no more!

We'd love to hear from you! Please send us a Text Message!If you haven't heard it yet, start with Part 1. Think ballads and relaxed grooves. Take a break and cool out over the beauty and intimacy of some of Link's best ballads sung by 4 or 5 top vocalists who have worked with him over for 3 or 4 decades and are all still going strong. All that's required of you are a good pair of headphones, an easy chair  and the time to do it. Get the inside stories on how and why the songs were written – the story behind the real life drama. Take a walk in the snow, an evening on the beach, a ride through the desert of the great Southwest, a night under the stars and so much more. Part 2 is the same concept as above presenting 9 more songs,Theater of the Imagination is presented by Watchfire Music

‘S Wonderdul that another podcast has arrived as we discuss the 1957 romantic musical ‘Funny Face' starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire. ‘Quality' magazine decide to pick someone who isn't a model to be the subject of a Paris photo shoot. Think pink and tune in!

One of the many paradoxes of war is that it often generates a surprisingly rich cultural output and when musical theatre decides to tackle the subject, the results can be rewarding - and varied!  Just look at Blitz, Oh What A Lovely War and Bedknobs and  Broomsticks to see three utterly different ways of tackling conflict and death in a musical.  And it doesn't stop there! So join Thos as he sits down with the three people behind the touching but raw story of Alfie, the boy who went to war - and find out why this grounded musical drama was as good as it was in an episode that answers the old question: What's it all about, Alfie?

Tonight on the Long Road to Ruin, we look back at Grease and Grease 2! One of the most successful movie musicals ever made spawned one of Hollywood's most infamous sequels, and we're breaking down how it happened. We examine Grease as both a beloved coming-of-age romance and a 1970s nostalgia machine, exploring how a rough-edged stage musical evolved into a polished cinematic fantasy of 1950s adolescence. Then we shift gears into Grease 2, a sequel that kept the leather jackets, motorcycles, Pink Ladies, and T-Birds but seemingly lost the magic that made the original a cultural phenomenon. Was Grease 2 truly the disaster its reputation suggests, or was it simply misunderstood? Join us as we discuss the music, performances, production history, themes of identity and belonging, the economics of sequels, and why one film became a timeless classic while the other became a cautionary tale of franchise filmmaking.

In this episode of The Music in Me, I dive into one of the most exciting times of the year for Broadway fans — Tony Awards season! I take a closer look at the 2026 Tony nominees for Best Musical and Best Revival of a Musical, including The Lost Boys, Schmigadoon!, Titaníque, Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), Ragtime, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, and The Rocky Horror Show. Even though I didn't know much about some of these musicals before the nominations were announced, that is exactly why I love doing episodes like this. It gives me the chance to discover new Broadway shows, explore incredible music and stories, and share my excitement with all of you along the way. I talk about vampire rock musicals, hilarious comedy parodies, emotional historical storytelling, bold Broadway revivals, cult musical fandoms, and why theater continues reinventing itself year after year. I also share my personal Tony predictions, the musicals I most want to see, and my disappointment over Beaches and Jessica Vosk being left out of the nominations.

Ein neuer Blick auf die Mutter aller Städte: Giulia Becker und Chris Sommer in New York City. Ausgerechnet die Drinnies, möchte man meinen. Aber das passt: Die beiden kennen New York City sehr gut, haben dort sogar schon live auf der Bühne gestanden. Im neuen Reisen-Reisen-Podcast-Studio entwickelte sich ein wundervolles, lustiges und auch nachdenkliches Gespräch über einen Ort, der so vieles ist: einerseits eine der Hauptstädte dieser Welt, andererseits gelegen in einem gerade alles andere als einfachen Land. Sollte man derzeit in die USA reisen? Auch darüber sprechen wir mit Giulia und Chris. Und über dieses Kribbeln, diese Sehnsucht, die wir alle vier spüren, wenn wir den Namen dieses Ortes hören. Die Blicke auf Manhattan und Brooklyn, die Fahrten auf den riesigen Brücken. Giulia und Chris berichten zudem von Besuchen in Jazz- und Comedy-Clubs, in Musicals, in Harlem und von diesen krassen Gegensätzen zwischen Arm und Reich, die man einfach nicht übersehen kann. Wir sprechen auch über den neuen Bürgermeister der Stadt, der die Hoffnung eines ganzen Landes ist. New York mit den Drinnies - kommt mit in zwei ganz besondere Folgen.—Höre alle DRINNIES Episoden überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

It is not hyperbole to say that Stephen Sondheim was among the most important creative voices in 20th Century American musical theater. From the 1950s through to the 2020s, he wrote the lyrics, music, or both for some of the most critically and commercially successful shows of our lifetimes. Sondheim's shows are beloved not only for their incredibly catchy songs, but also for their insightful stories exploring the nature of art, history, and most importantly, the fragile and fault-riddled human condition. Though we lost Mr. Sondheim in 2021, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back on his works as we attempt to name the Best Stephen Sondheim Musical of all time.Musicals discussed: Sweeney Todd, Saturday Night, West Side Story, Merrily We Roll Along, Passion, Sunday in the Park with George, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Assassins, Pacific Overtures, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Anyone Can Whistle, Gypsy, FolliesJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Kevin Dillon, Michael Schwarz, and Trey Radu-Blackburn as they discuss and debate 16 of Sondheim's most enduring works.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss our personal experiences with Sondheim shows, and the Sondheim shows that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

Then we all had dinner at Dos Caminos before our 7p Book of Mormon Show. At home, we heated up a cinnamon roll Laura went all the way downtown to get us from Losers. Sunday: we got bagels and then coffee, finished the TikTok video to the Two Strangers opening song and then hit the road.

I joined Dan for his weekly card game. We played Five Crowns, which I really enjoy. We had dinner with Dan's cousins who we don't see often and then with an old high school friend of Dan's who he hasn't seen in over 25 years! He and his wife were lovely. Fun chat. We brought Hattie to Beauty and the Beast, looking all beautiful in her Belle dress. She had an absolute blast. My work friends were reminiscing about this funny old cell phone commercial video we used to love watching it.

But reality is as beautiful as it is ugly. I think it is just as important to sing about beautiful mornings as it is to talk about slums. I just couldn't write anything without hope in it." - Oscar Hammerstein   ------ Thank you for tuning in!   Contact Information: Check out the Down Cellar Studio Patreon!
