Äntligen en äkta "tonårsmusikal" med flera teman som känns väldigt aktuella. Musikalen som innehåller 12 sånger + ett medley handlar om att: * visa respekt * känna empati * kunna samarbeta * våga visa känslor * bli sedd och se andra

Till materialet hör CD, noter samt ett manushäfte och en video från en livekonsert. Singback kan som vanligt fås på beställning.

Självbehärskning, tålamod och trofasthet hör väl inte till modeorden idag direkt, men det är titlarna på några av sångerna i vår nya musikal om Andens frukter. Här finns också bl a Kärlek och Glädje, och varje frukt har fått sin egen sång. Korta och enkla sånger som passar även för små barn.

Här har vi glädjen att presentera en musikal som belyser treenigheten - Fadern, Sonen och Anden. Det är gott att tacka HerrenVi vill hylla din maktBildmeditationHylla Herren hela världenNy skapelseVi tillhör KristusBildmeditationJesus Kristus är densammeVinden blåserAndens frihetBildmeditationHerren är med din andeBerördSyftet är att lyfta fram det vi har i vår tro på Gud av glädje och trygghet. Musiken är väldigt varierad, och förutom sånger innehåller musikalen textläsning, enkla dramatiseringar samt bildmeditation till musik. Musikalen är inte bunden till en viss åldersgrupp, och ungdomar och vuxna kan med fördel göra den tillsammans. Den passar också mycket väl som en hel gudstjänst. Totalt 10 sånger plus instrumentala meditationer.

Julmusikal i fyra episoder. !. De visa männens upptäckt 2. Ängelns besök. 3. Det kejserliga påbudet. 4. Jesu födelse

Musikalen Future Dreams bygger på en känd berättelse ur bibeln, nämligen den liknelse om den förlorade sonen som Jesus vid ett tillfälle berättar för sina lärjungar.

I Hammarslagen beskrivs korsfästelsen från ett nytt perspektiv. Det är människorna som var där och som var delaktiga som berättar. Lämplig från 12 år och uppåt. 60 min speltid med många roller och repliker

Musikalen "Den gode Herden" kom till våren 2009 i ett anfall av "Vi måste göra något nytt och ROLIGT!! med barnkören den här våren." berättar Åsa Eriksson. Det blev en underhållande och glad historia, med många olika roller som är lätta att fylla med personer i olika åldrar. Åsa berättar att det har känts viktigt att musikalen betonar den gode Herden och vad Han står för. Därför heter den "Den gode Herden" och inte "det förlorade fåret" även om det är just den liknelsen musikalen bygger på. Här möter vi förutom herden bl a några nyfikna men lättlurade får, en blodtörstig liten fladdermus, två hungriga och korkade vargar och en "expert". Allt med en stor portion humor och med glimten i ögat. Musikalen innehåller många korta sånger i olika stilar och speltiden är c:a 50 min. CD och nothäfte med tillhörande manus finns.

Maria, som kanske bara var tonåring, blev efter den omvälvande födelsen flykting, i ett helt nytt land. Ingenting i hennes liv blev som förut. Med ett nyfött barn kastades hon in i ett okänt land, utan språk, helt ovetande om vad som väntade där, men hennes tillit till Gud bar henne genom allt. Och Josef borde enligt seden ha brutit sin trolovning med Maria då han hade fått veta att hon var gravid, men ängeln kom till honom och han valde att trotsa seden och älska henne och barnet som sitt eget. Vilket mod! Musikalen innehåller 13 sånger och tar c:a 50 min. Det finns inga talroller, men en berättare för handlingen framåt och skådespelarna agerar till detta. CD och ett kombinerat not- och manushäfte finns. Även spelstämmor för olika instrument.

Kanske är människokroppen Guds allra finaste skapelse? Varje del har sin speciella funktion och delarna tillsammans utgör en fantastisk helhet. Med våra händer kan vi göra både bra och dåliga saker. En hand kan både smeka och slå, välkomna och avvisa. Det är det musikalen Händer handlar om. Att vi också får vila i Guds kärleksfulla händer är stort. Vi är tillsammans ett pussel där varje bit har sin plats. Gud vill hjälpa oss att förstå det.

Hösten 2019 fyller teaterhuset vid Fersens väg i Malmö 75 år. De första 50 åren finns dokumenterade i Henrik Sjögrens verk ”Konst & Nöje” som utkom 1994 och i den här boken har vi samlat pusselbitar ur de senaste 25 årens verksamhet på stora scenen med succéer och floppar, ombyggnader och teknikutveckling, fakta och roliga anekdoter. Här kan ni läsa om hur teatercheferna genom åren ser på sitt arbete så här i efterhand, vart de omtalade "sarkofagerna" tog vägen, vilken kändis som hade planer på att fly landet inför premiären och mycket mer.

Boken innehåller, utöver de 13 sångerna och manus även lektionstips, en variant av sagan om Rödluvan och vargen och kopieringsunderlag för ett sånghäfte till de medverkande.

Martin Zenck porträtiert den 2024 verstorbenen Wolfgang Rihm als einen kosmopolitischen Komponisten, der auf der Welthaftigkeit der Musik und auf der Freiheit des Komponierens kompromisslos besteht. Der Autor legt eine breite Darstellung des Rihm’schen Œuvres vor: der Lieder, der Instrumentalmusik, des sakralen Werks sowie des zentralen „Nietzsche-Komplexes“ und vor allem des Musiktheaters: von der Artaud-Trilogie und der „Hamletmaschine“ nach Heiner Müller bis hin zu den Opern, die Rihm auf der Textbasis von Goethe („Proserpina“) und Hölderlin („Oedipus“) verfasst hat.Gegenüber der Deutungshoheit und kraftvoll-energetischen Sprache Rihms findet dieses Buch seinen eigenen methodischen Ansatz, indem es zwar der Selbstinterpretation des Komponisten Raum gibt, auf der anderen Seite aber das Rihm’sche Werk in einen neuen Verstehenshorizont stellt. Dazu dienen theater- und literaturwissenschaftliche Perspektiven, philosophische und produktionsästhetische Zugänge sowie die musikalische Analyse und die Untersuchung von Aufführungen und Aufnahmen.Im Zentrum des Buches steht so der Dialog zwischen dem Komponisten und seinem Interpreten Martin Zenck: die Suche nach Bedeutungsdimensionen innerhalb der Rezeption, nach einem „Sinnüberschuss“ gemäß der Rihm’schen Maxime, dass „das Werk immer mehr weiß als der Autor“.

The first comprehensive collection of the letters of one of the most successful American songwriters of the twentieth centuryFrom Anything Goes to Kiss Me, Kate, Cole Porter left a lasting legacy of iconic songs including "You're the Top," "Love For Sale," and "Night and Day." Yet, alongside his professional success, Porter led an eclectic personal life which featured exuberant parties, scandalous affairs, and chronic health problems.

This book reveals surprising insights into his attitudes toward Hollywood and Broadway, and toward money, love, and dazzling success.

They stand at the apex of the great age of songwriting, the creators of the classic Broadway musicals Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I, and The Sound of Music, whose songs have never lost their popularity or emotional power. Even before they joined forces, Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II had written dozens of Broadway shows, but together they pioneered a new art form: the serious musical play. Their songs and dance numbers served to advance the drama and reveal character, a sharp break from the past and the template on which all future musicals would be built.Though different in personality and often emotionally distant from each other, Rodgers and Hammerstein presented an unbroken front to the world and forged much more than a songwriting team; their partnership was also one of the most profitable and powerful entertainment businesses of their era. They were cultural powerhouses whose work came to define postwar America on stage, screen, television, and radio. But they also had their failures and flops, and more than once they feared they had lost their touch.Todd S. Purdum’s portrait of these two men, their creative process, and their groundbreaking innovations will captivate lovers of musical theater, lovers of the classic American songbook, and lovers in general. He shows that what Rodgers and Hammerstein wrought was truly something wonderful.

The New York Times Bestseller From the award-winning composer/co-lyricist behind such iconic projects as Hairspray, Sister Act, Mary Poppins Returns, and Smash comes a wickedly funny, no-holds-barred memoir.In Never Mind the Happy, musical dynamo Marc Shaiman looks back on five decades of Broadway triumphs, Hollywood hijinks, and unforgettable collaborations. Along the way, he charts the personal highs and heartbreaks that have shaped him—spending his teenage years in community theater, starting a decades-long collaboration with Bette Midler in the ’70s, surviving the AIDS crisis of the ’80s, his award-winning film music career in the Hollywood of the ’90s, right up to the peaks (and valleys) of creating Broadway musicals from 2000 on. Candid, hilarious, and deeply human, Shaiman’s story is a tribute to the power of music, the pull of the spotlight, and the beat that never stops. Part showbiz tell-all, part love letter to the melancholy that fuels creativity, told with perfect comic timing—along with a few wrong notes, and plenty of standing ovations.

This book is a more personal history than has ever before been written by or about Marianne Faithfull. Anecdotal, conversational, intimate and revealing, this is her no-holds-barred account of her life, her friends, her triumphs and mistakes.A decade after the publication of ‘Faithfull’, one of the most acclaimed rock autobiographies of all time, Marianne Faithfull is back, vowing periodically leave her wicked ways behind and grow up, but finding that somehow strange things keep happening.A wry observer of her slightly off-kilter world, Marianne muses nostalgically about afternoons languishing on Moroccan cushions at George and Pattie's, getting high and listening to new songs. She fondly recalls the outlandish antics of her Beat friends Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs; is frequently baffled at her image in the press (opening the paper to read of her own demise: 'Sixties Star in Death Plunge'); terrified by the curse sent by Kenneth Anger; mortified by her history of reckless behaviour; not to mention her near-death experience in Singapore while looking for an opium den.Marianne peoples her anecdotal memoir with legendary characters one can imagine only Marianne assembling around her, both the eccentric and the beautiful, from Henrietta Moraes and Donatella Versace to Sofia Coppola, Juliette Greco, and Yves St. Laurent's dog. Here is Marianne on the dark side of the sixties and the bright side of the nineties, which saw her collaborating with the likes of Blur and Jarvis Cocker; compelling recollections of an unconventional childhood in her father's orgiastic literary commune to a hilariously decadent few days at Lady Caroline Blackwood's deathbed. Here she is her blossoming movie career, on her records as subliminal autobiography. This is as intimate a portrait as we've ever had of Marianne, as she meditates on sex and drugs, confronts her alter-ego, the Fabulous Beast, and faces her own mortality in her battle with breast cancer.Since her last book Marianne has, in her own words, 'made quite a few records, gone on many tours, tried to play it straight, and… Well, the rest is the subject of this book.'

“You have the luck of Croesus on stilts (as my Auntie Vi would have said) if you’ve had the sort of career, ups and downs, warts and all that I have in that wondrous little corner of show business called musical theatre.” One of the most successful and distinguished artists of our time, Andrew Lloyd Webber has reigned over the musical theatre world for nearly five decades. The winner of numerous awards, including multiple Tonys and an Oscar, Lloyd Webber has enchanted millions worldwide with his music and numerous hit shows, including Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Cats, The Phantom of the Opera—Broadway’s longest running show—and most recently, School of Rock. In Unmasked, written in his own inimitable, quirky voice, the revered, award-winning composer takes stock of his achievements, the twists of fate and circumstance which brought him both success and disappointment, and the passions that inspire and sustain him.The son of a music professor and a piano teacher, Lloyd Webber reveals his artistic influences, from his idols Rodgers and Hammerstein and the perfection of South Pacific’s ‘Some Enchanted Evening,’ to the pop and rock music of the 1960s and Puccini’s Tosca, to P. G. Wodehouse and T. S. Eliot. Lloyd Webber recalls his bohemian London youth, reminiscing about the happiest place of his childhood, his homemade Harrington Pavilion—a make-believe world of musical theatre in which he created his earliest entertainments.A record of several exciting and turbulent decades of British and American musical theatre and the transformation of popular music itself, Unmasked is ultimately a chronicle of artistic creation. Lloyd Webber looks back at the development of some of his most famous works and illuminates his collaborations with luminaries such as Tim Rice, Robert Stigwood, Harold Prince, Cameron Mackintosh, and Trevor Nunn. Taking us behind the scenes of his productions, Lloyd Webber reveals fascinating details about each show, including the rich cast of characters involved with making them, and the creative and logistical challenges and artistic political battles that ensued.Lloyd Webber shares his recollections of the works that have become cultural touchstones for generations of fans: writing songs for a school production that would become his first hit, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat; finding the coterie of performers for his classic rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar; developing his first mega-hit, Evita, which would win seven Tonys Awards, including Best Musical; staking his reputation and fortune on the groundbreaking Cats; and making history with the dazzling The Phantom of the Opera.Reflecting a life that included many passions (from architecture to Turkish Swimming Cats), full of witty and revealing anecdotes, and featuring cameo appearances by numerous celebrities—Elaine Paige, Sarah Brightman, David Frost, Julie Covington, Judi Dench, Richard Branson, A.R. Rahman, Mandy Patinkin, Patti LuPone, Richard Rodgers, Norman Jewison, Milos Forman, Plácido Domingo, Barbra Streisand, Michael Crawford, Gillian Lynne, Betty Buckley, and more—Unmasked at last reveals the true face of the extraordinary man beneath the storied legend.

Part tell-all, part cautionary tale, this emotionally charged memoir from a former video vixen nicknamed 'Superhead' goes beyond the glamour of celebrity to reveal the inner workings of the hip-hop dancer industry-from the physical and emotional abuse that's rampant in the industry, and which marked her own life-to the excessive use of drugs, sex and bling. Once the sought-after video girl, this sexy siren has helped multi-platinum artists, such as Jay-Z, R. Kelly and LL Cool J, sell millions of albums with her sensual dancing. In a word, Karrine was H-O-T. So hot that she made as much as $2500 a day in videos and was selected by well-known film director F. Gary Gray to co-star in his film, A Man Apart, starring Vin Diesel. But the film and music video sets, swanky Hollywood and New York restaurants and trysts with the celebrities featured in the pages of People and In Touch magazines only touches the surface of Karrine Steffans' life. Her journey is filled with physical abuse, rape, drug and alcohol abuse, homelessness and single motherhood-all by the age of 26.By sharing her story, Steffans hopes to shed light on an otherwise romanticised industry and help young women avoid the same pitfalls she encountered. If they're already in danger, she hopes to inspire them to find a way to dig themselves out of what she knows first-hand to be a cycle of hopelessness and despair.
