Watching this stupid show again for 30 seconds of him. Yeah, insanity.

[redrosecut]

I had no idea that they actually filmed the musical of Ku'damm 56 and that it is available to stream for free until September 2025. Definitely need to put this on my watch list.

Ich lauf, ich bleib nicht stehen Wenn ich lauf, dann tut nichts weh

Ich denke nicht, denke nicht Ich denke nicht an dich

Die Liebe kennt und will mich nicht Mein Herz ist so grau

Und da ist nichts, was mich jetzt heilen kann Nur Leere, alles taub

Can't believe that I just downloaded a 1080p version of this mess simply so I could have this scene in full color

Why you should watch "Ku'damm 56 - The Musical"

I promise it's good!!! My friends and me liked it so much that we saw it live several times. There are people that went there over 80 times. There is a pro-shot that you can watch for free (here)!

Why you might like it:

The music is really good. It's mostly rock with some other genres mixes in. They don't have an orchestra but a rock band instead

The main character is a well written young woman defying the society of West-Berlin in the 1950s

One of the characters is gay and the musical in general has very queer vibes. (That might be because two of the creators are gay men)

It's pretty funny with a very German sense of humour. Very dry. Also a lot of weird sayings.

It's dark but with a hopeful message at the end

The costumes, set and lighting are very creative and good, as well as the choreography.

The actors are fantastic and the characters all have a lot of depth. They're all incredibly complex.

If you like Tanz der Vampire or Elisabeth, you might also like this. It also kind of has Hamilton and SIX vibes.

Why this might not be something for you:

It's in German. (I'm working on a translation English subtitles can be found here)

It contains graphic depictions of: rape, domestic violence, sex, suicide attempts, conversion therapy, misogyny, homophobia

It contains discussions of: all of the above, abortion, the holocaust, war, trauma, infedelity, depression, suicide

One of the characters is a rapist who is portrayed kind of sympathetically. I think his whole plot-line is kind of problematic. Also, basically everyone is morally grey in this. I mean, almost all of the older characters were Nazis...

All of this said: this musical was advertised as something for the whole family and it manages to balance lighter and heavier subjects very well. Weirdly, it really captures the spirit of a lot of Germans, especially people from Berlin.

I'm probably going to make another post later where I'll talk more about the plot and the characters.

Die Büssing AG wurde 1971 von MAN übernommen. Daher kennt man den Löwen von älteren MAN-Fahrzeugen. 2021 verschwand die MAN SE aus dem Handelsregister, und damit auch der Löwe.

Ku'damm 56 really could have done a perfectly fine enemies to lovers storyline and instead they went with excusing rape.

Dieses verdammte Gummiband war einfach nicht gut genug. Ein kurzes Ziepen und dann war der Schmerz wieder vorbei, aber die Gedanken, die dreckigen perversen schändlichen Gedanken, sie blieben.
