The Hessen Comedy Special as the highlight of the Spotlight Musical Gala
For the project with the title „The almighty hand cheese“ the Hessian comedy legend Henni Nachtsheim (Badesalz) with Ali Neander put together by the Rodgau Monotones and the creative team at spotlight musicals. In addition to Nachtsheim, the cast included, among others, Radio presenter Johannes Scherer, No Angels star Sandy Mölling as well as numerous musical theater performers on stage. The live band was led by Rodgau Monotones guitarist Ali Neander. The artists were accompanied by the Cologne Symphony Orchestra and a large concert choir.
The impetus for this extraordinary project was provided by State Secretary Benedikt Kuhn, Head of the Hessian State Chancellery.
Synopsis A Hessian mission to save the world
The piece with the title „The almighty hand cheese“ is set in the year 2126 and humanity is facing an existential threat. Hesse, of all places, has an almost inexhaustible source of energy that supplies the entire world. But the new reactor suddenly loses power.
The last hope is the equally eccentric and ingenious Doc Bembel, embodied by Henni Nachtsheim. Using a newly developed time machine, he travels back in time and gathers an illustrious group of world-famous Hessians. Together they are to rekindle the mysterious energy of the power station and help the „Almighty Handkäs“ regain its former strength.
„Above all, we want to give the audience a great experience and entertain them in the most positive way possible. What sets us Hessians apart? We always find a solution—and we like to think outside the box. Since many of our characters are Hessians known around the world, the numerous guests from outside the region will also get their money’s worth.“
Peter Scholz, Producer
„Our gala audience gets what is essentially a world premiere in addition to the Gala as a gift. This is completely extraordinary and probably unique in this form.“
