Manchester’s Hope Mill Theatre will stage the UK premiere of German cabaret musical It’s In The Air! in June.
Written by composer Mischa Spoliansky and lyricist Marcellus Schiffer, the never seen before English translation of Es Liegt in der Luft features original English translations by West End composer and librettist Steven Edis and original orchestration by Aaron Breeze and Celia Denore-Lopez.
Supported by the Spoliansky Trust, Royal Northern College of Music and The Golsoncott Foundation, the production which will be directed by Anna Cabre-Verdiell will play Hope Mill on 22 and 23 June.
Closely associated with Marlene Dietrich who starred in the first production in Germany in 1928, Es Liegt in der Luft has been described as the first ‘attempt at a German language musical’ and features the distinctive style of music closely associated with the Weimar cabaret sounds of 1920s Berlin.
