Kulturamt Langen

The Kiez Diva tells and sings about the rise of the Reeperbahn to Germany's Broadway: from the big bang of the Schmidt Theater, the first giant show Cats and the small musical boutique houses Imperial and Holstenwall with their legendary off-Broadway shows from Grease to Rocky Horror Show. Through the booming era of the noughties and the present, characterized by "the" stage and the Kiez superhit Heiße Ecke. All the way to the musical that has yet to be written about Olivia Jones.
The Kiez Diva tells it all! Iris Schumacher is the Kiez Diva - the only musical actress in the world who has performed on all of Hamburg's Big Five Reeperbahn stages. And she has a lot to tell and sing about. The Kiez Diva was simply always there. Even backstage! She talks about the boards that not only mean the world on the Reeperbahn, but often just the ramp to the Lukullus sausage and the first beer on a long night out. Who was the drunkest cat? Which Danny in Grease wasn't gay and is now an international star? All this and of course the best songs can be found at Kiez Diva!

None other than Thomas Hermanns, who made stand-up comedy socially acceptable in Germany in the early 90s and was awarded the Golden Camera, the German Comedy Prize and the Bavarian Television Prize, among others, has written the book for this furious show, in which Iris Schumacher chats from the sewing box of showbiz in St. Pauli.
