Gayle Tufts
On the piano: Marian Lux
Directed by Christopher Tölle NDR TV report:
The fantastic leading lady of her own life tells and sings brand new stories with more vocal power than ever before. Her unmistakable invention - the Dinglish, a poetic and pointed mix of German and English - spans the arc from Brockton - via Buffalo, Broadway and Bielefeld - to Berlin. The American entertainer and singer tells of 7 nights that changed her life - one look, one sound, one movement - and everything is different! Charming and humorous, with self-irony and strength, quirky perspectives and subtlety. As a first-class cast, she is glamorous, irrepressibly passionate and vibrant. Gayle Tufts is a hit. And she rocks the important topics in the here and now.
An evening full of newly interpreted classics, fresh songs and surprising stories.
She is supported by the musical accompaniment of her stage partner and playmate - the award-winning film and television composer Marian Lux.
"Gayle Tufts, known from television and many live performances, is simply adorable. She is a gifted entertainer. The way Gayle Tufts addresses the audience in a relaxed way with the themes of women's self-realization and the longing for freedom and respect is funny and serious at the same time."
Frankfurter Rundschau
Gayle Tufts was the first woman in the legendary Quatsch Comedy Club - and was honored by Pro7 as a Quatsch legend. She has been producing her own stage shows for over 25 years. On television, she is a welcome guest in all formats and has spent nights with Thomas Hermanns, Jasmin Tabatabai, Barbara Schöneberger and Florian Silbereisen. She was Channing Tatum's date on the red carpet of his MAGIC MIKE premiere in Berlin. She plays DOLLY in HELLO, DOLLY! at Theater Bremen with stunning success - accompanied by the Bremen Philharmonic Orchestra, among others. And nobody can stop her.
"Gayle Tufts sparkles like a flashing mirror ball. The US star is world-famous in Berlin and undoubtedly impossible to ignore."
