Marc "Cuco" Dietrich from Peter, Sue and Marc celebrated his debut as Mr. Lieberherr. He received great applause from the audience as soon as he entered the stage and was also able to convince throughout the play in his role, but the performance of the other actors, above all the leading actors Jan Simon Messerli as Daneli, Sandra Leon as young Heidi, Monica Quinter as older Heidi and Christoph Wettstein as Dänu (he has already played over 750 performances of "Ewigi Liebi") is also worthy of mention. In general, the ensemble is very well-rehearsed after their six-week rehearsal phase.
Donald Trump also finds his place in Trueb
Basically, the play is still the same, but minor things have been modernized. For example, Donald Trump also finds a place in the musical as Murmeli.
However, the creators could have gone even further here: The marmot "Bruno" in particular, who is a gay marmot, is an explosion of clichés: he is pink, wears a belly, goes to the nail salon and wants to "talk from woman to woman" with his sweetheart's mother. This is how only backwoods people who only know homosexuals from television in the form of Olivia Jones imagine gays.
In general, the coming-out story of the Murmeli family, played by Helmi Sigg and Midi Gottet from Trio Eden, among others, seems a little outdated. Nowadays, no boy will probably have to explain to his parents what it means to be gay. Perhaps the story of Murmeli could have been developed further without changing the main story of the musical.
Standing ovation at the end
After the premiere, the creators were relieved: the audience acknowledged the performance with a standing ovation, with a big fan sitting in the front row: he was seeing the musical for the 106th time.
Even after the premiere, the guests were unanimous: Ewigi Liebi continues to inspire. Many had already seen the musical, and their enjoyment of the play was still just as great. Ewigi Liebi for "Ewigi Liebi".
