DIE UDO JÜRGENS STORY - With Gabriela Benesch & Alex Parker

Gripping melodies, a unique personality, and an immortal legacy: Udo Jürgens captivated millions of fans on his tours. The Austrian who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1966 achieved worldwide success with "Merci, Chérie" - a hit that topped the charts in over 20 countries. The chansonnier became one of the most significant entertainers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. With over 100 million records sold and more than 50 albums released, he was one of the world's most commercially successful male solo artists. Five years after his death, "Die UDO JÜRGENS Story" offers fans the chance to get close to their idol once more. This extraordinary tribute to the grand master of German entertainment is packaged as a light-hearted, amusing song evening - a captivating and entertaining concert crafted by Gabriela Benesch, who was named Best Theatre Actress of the Year in Vienna in 2014. Trained pianist Alex Parker sings the works of the unforgettable schlager bard as if the artist himself were standing on stage. The musical journey through time features all the great hits such as "Mit 66 Jahren", "Ich War Noch Niemals In New York", and "Griechischer Wein", along with some rarities. True to the entertainer's style, he accompanies himself on the piano. After the premiere, Udo's daughter Jenny Jürgens raved: "A must for all Udo fans!"
