Semmel Concerts

“Wahnsinn – The Show” returns to the stage as a grand birthday celebration for Wolfgang Petry. This is the year Wolle celebrates his 75th birthday and would have marked his 50th anniversary on stage. Even though he no longer performs on stage himself, his fans are having the time of their lives celebrating all his hits and catchy tunes—with plenty of Wolfgang Petry classics like “Verlieben, verloren, vergessen, verzeihen,” “Der Himmel brennt,” and, of course, “Wahnsinn”—while also taking a breathtaking journey through time that brings back to life the moving moments, entertaining stories, and personal anecdotes from Wolfgang Petry’s career.

What fans love about this show: the feel of a real concert experience. Chronologically, the production picks up where Wolfgang Petry’s legendary final concert of his acclaimed “Einfach Geil” tour from 1999 left off and, through video footage from that era, catapults the audience back to the spirit of that time 20 years ago at the speed of light: Feel that energy once more, celebrate all those hits once more as if there were no tomorrow. Since the music legend himself hasn’t performed live in a long time, this show is meant to give fans the chance to sing along to his hits once again.
