Marriage is back in vogue: in the musical comedy "Höchste Zeit", one of four friends is getting married. With spicy entanglements and unexpected incidents, great songs and captivating actresses, the marriage revue is a sequel to the musical "Heisse Zeiten", which attracted over 100,000 visitors in Switzerland last fall.
One of the four friends from the successful revue "Heisse Zeiten" is now actually getting hitched. During the wedding preparations at the Grand Hotel, this leads to existential questions such as: "Is there such a thing as the perfect partner?" or: "Why get married at all?" The bride's doubts are compounded by the sudden disappearance of the groom, which adds to the wedding party's confusion.Erotic encounters in the hotel elevator and many other complications keep the audience and the actresses on their toes. A four-piece band provides live sound.
