The HEAVEN CAN WAIT choir from Hamburg has been capturing the hearts of audiences for over 10 years. Ever since the successful movie about the choir, the show has been causing a stir and selling out venues all over Germany. And because you're never too old to try something new, even when you're over 70, the young-at-heart oldsters are now taking off with a new program: "Now more than ever!"
The success story of the HEAVEN CAN WAIT choir continues! Around 35 singers aged between 70 and 93 belt out the songs of the grandchildren's generation, charmingly overturning common preconceptions about retired senior citizens. Once again, their repertoire includes - not at all "age-appropriate" - current hits that everyone knows. In their interpretation, however, the songs have a different effect, because from the perspective of these life-experienced people, they gain a depth that is surprising.
What is new and special about the "Jetzt erst recht" program is that the choir is also presenting songs it has composed and written itself for the first time. Touching songs that deal with topics that are rarely mentioned in the young pop world: What is the meaning of life? What does happiness mean? How do I deal with the subject of death? Great topics, presented in the proven HCW manner with heart and soul and a good dose of humor, radiating a lot of wisdom without lecturing. Incidentally, these songs are also available on CD for the first time.
And so the (G)Oldies rock the stage again with their new program: colourful, young and cheeky, singing and rapping, dancing and grooving. With "Jetzt erst recht", Hamburg's oldest, youngest and definitely most colorful choir gains a new facet.
And for those who would like to take a look behind the scenes: the successful and audience award-winning film "Heaven can wait - wir leben jetzt" is available everywhere on DVD and as a stream.
