DIE UDO JÜRGENS STORY - With Gabriela Benesch & Alex Parker

Captivating melodies, a one-of-a-kind personality and an enduring legacy: Udo Jürgens thrilled millions of fans on his tours. The Austrian won the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in 1966 with "Merci, Chérie", a worldwide hit that topped the charts in more than 20 countries. He went on to become one of the most important entertainers of the 20th and early 21st centuries, selling over 100 million records and releasing more than 50 albums - making him one of the most commercially successful male solo artists in the world.

Five years after his death, "Die UDO JÜRGENS Story" gives fans the chance to feel close to their idol once more. This remarkable tribute to the grand master of German-language entertainment takes the form of a light-hearted and witty song evening, put together by Gabriela Benesch, who was named best theatre actress of the year in Vienna in 2014. Trained pianist Alex Parker sings the unforgettable schlager legend's songs as if Jürgens himself were standing on stage.

The musical journey through time covers all the big hits - "Mit 66 Jahren", "Ich War Noch Niemals In New York" and "Griechischer Wein" - alongside a handful of rarities. True to the entertainer's style, Parker accompanies himself on the piano. Udo's daughter Jenny Jürgens said after the premiere: "A must for all Udo fans!"
