Sarg niemals nie by Reuter, C., Sun 29 Jan 2023, From (2022/2023), Directed by Sebastian Gühne,, Conductor Markus Teichler, Eduard-von-Winterstein-Theater, Annaberg, Germany

What does one do to get a bankrupt funeral home out of the red? David, the son of the deceased undertaker, his brother Tim and the housekeeper Dakmar, whom David fiercely but secretly admires, have their ideas on how to outdo the successful cheap competition “Mac Sarg”, “Sarg2go” or “Sargozy”. Only so much can be revealed: bizarre, original, with ambiguous wordplay and a good dose of black humor, the three sing and dance their way out of the misery and into the not only business happy ending. Welcome to a whole new genre - the funeral home! An evening full of surprises is guaranteed! The premiere of this small, but fine and in every respect thrilling musical, in 2013 at the Neuköllner Oper in Berlin, was a huge success. "Plenty of tears flow, but not out of emotion, but because there is a lot to laugh about," read one review. Since then, the triumphal procession of the work across the stages has been unstoppable.
