Richy Müller conquers the Stuttgart musical with villain charm!
Palladium Theater, Stuttgart, Deutschland - Richy Müller, the 69-year-old actor, known from the popular crime series "Tatort", will bring his acting skills to a new stage. As the Weser-Kurier , Müller will appear in Stuttgart's "Tarzan" musical. In this role he gives the villain Clayton, a big game hunter, and already has numerous guest appearances in this staging. His interpretations of the character offer a fresh perspective, since Müller usually plays introverted roles, like that of the Commissioner.
Clayton is a complex figure that leads Jane into the jungle and thus conflict with Tarzan. Müller describes the challenge of presenting this evil character as a test of courage. The anticipation for the rehearsals is noticeable, and the actor shows great respect for the skills of the musical actors who sing, dance and act at the same time.
The challenges of the theater
With his experience as a "crime scene" commissioner, Müller brings Müller a fascinating perspective into the theater world. While he can repeat scenes on television, his performance on the large stage of the Palladium Theater in Stuttgart, which offers 1,800 seats, will be unique. This is a step into the unknown for him because he has never played on such an impressive stage before. Müller compares the theater work with his previous activity: the role of the Commissioner is more introverted, while the performance in the theater requires a spacious presence.Another advantage of the musical is the direct feedback from the audience that takes place during the performance. This dynamic differs fundamentally from the often isolated rotating conditions on television. Müller is excited to see how the audience will react to his performance.
The way to the musical
musical theater has a long and multifaceted story that goes back to ancient Greece. Originally integral component of performances in the 5th century BC BC, the genre developed over the centuries. From the medieval religious drama to the magnificent musicals of Edwardian Era, the connection of music, dance and theater has always inspired artists.
The contemporary form of the musical, which culminated in the 20th century, has integrated many influences from Europeanization and various theater traditions. The development of musicals like "Oklahoma!" And "My Fair Lady" in the 1940s and 50s revolutionized the genre and gave it a permanent place in the global theater landscape.
The challenges that Müller now wants to accept are in line with the Tradition of the musical as an art form that is constantly on the move, as the entire history of the musical shows. It remains to be seen how his debut as a Clayton will be in the "Tarzan" musical and what new facets it can offer to the musical world.
