The Waldbühne in Hamm-Heessen has recently announced exciting news that should be excited by both theater lovers and music fans. On Sunday evening, September 8th, it was announced that the rousing piece "Blues Brothers" will come on stage in the 2025 summer season-an adaptation of the popular US musical comedy from 1980.

"Blues Brothers" tells the gripping story of Jake Blues, who is determined to put together his old band after his release from prison. This is done with the aim of saving the Catholic orphanage in which he and his brother Elwood spent their childhood. The plot is manigly and is full of music and energy, which could make the piece a real experience for the audience.

The reactions of the audience

On social media such as Instagram, enthusiasm and anticipation are reflected. Without exception, users expressed themselves positively about this choice, with some even showing their approval with the words "not 'bad, the woodpecker" and "Boah how cool". The desire to perform the piece with live musicians and real instruments is particularly emphasized, which would support the authentic atmosphere of the 80s

Although the exact execution details are still unclear, preparations are underway. The Waldbühne has also prepared to present the child and family piece for the same season. In the meantime, the current ensemble focuses on the upcoming winter theater, which shows that the creative work is in full swing.

The decision for "Blues Brothers" not only shows the trend towards nostalgic and musical performances, but also illustrates the efforts of the Waldbühne to address a wide range of spectators. The stage is known for its ability to promote local and national talents and bring innovative concepts to the stage.

The "Blues Brothers" project could thus become a highlight in the region's cultural calendar and kidnap the audience into the exciting world of Chicago in the 1980s. So let's be excited to see how the planning develops and what surprises the ensemble of the forest stage has for the coming summer season.
