SUNSET BOULEVARD

Sonntags Rundblick Hamm / 1995-12-10

..... It was all ready on Friday: The most popular German Musicalstar Uwe Kroeger, born in Hamm, was to be seen in Germany’s first-night performance of the latest masterpiece "Sunset Boulevard" from Andrew Lloyd Webber in Niedernhausen near Wiesbaden. .....

..... Through Starlight Express in Bochum he became well-known; with the secret leading role as Death in the musical "Elisabeth" in Vienna, he sang and played himself into the hearts of innumerable fans. His sweeping voice and his acting presence in the role of GI Chris in Miss Saigon in Stuttgart convinced all, but with the male leading role in Sunset Boulevard he reaches his absolute highlight which hardly can be outbid in Germany. .....

However, the real highlight of the show is a marginal scene: the love duo of Joe and Normas rival Betty, not just melodically but also vocally. .....
