Schöne Mannheims laden ein...

In the organizer's words:

Beautiful - sharp - weird! They're back, and how! With full force and energy! Wild, wonderfully funny and incredibly musical!

These thoroughbred musicians have long since become a cult, but even after all these years they cannot be assigned to a specific genre: They captivate with a mix of comedy, musical cabaret, strong voices and brilliant acting.

Their meteoric rise was and is unstoppable. Wherever they have performed - between Munich and Kiel, between Cologne and Bayreuth - they have left behind sold-out houses and enthusiastic audiences and have long since become an integral part of Germany's cultural landscape! With the new best-of show "Das Schönste der Schönen", the audience can expect a refreshing mixture of excellent singing, spirited stage show, biting comedy, good music and innovative ideas, where both sexes get their money's worth! The beauties - these are the singers and actresses Anna Krämer and Susanne Back, as well as opera diva Smaida Platais. At the piano: the master of the raised eyebrow Stefanie Titus - virtuoso, sensitive and strong nerves.

Once again, the ladies have invited exciting guests.

Helene Mierscheid
Helene Mierscheid is a life coach by profession. She used to be a political advisor - a job she gave up due to its proven futility. You can look forward to the multi-award-winning cabaret artist and an evening full of punchlines - and they always end up back in her old field of activity - politics.

Jean-Michel Fournereau
Born and raised in Brittany, France. He trained as an actor at the Conservatoire National d'Art Dramatique de Rennes. He came to Germany in 1985 and graduated as a singer from the Mannheim/Heidelberg University of Music in 1989.
He received a scholarship from the Richard Wagner Foundation and worked for eight years in Germany at numerous theaters and festivals (including under the direction of Harry Kupfer, Eberhard Streul, Franz Wittenbrink, John Dew ...), as well as for radio and television. With Stefanie Titus and Katharina Gündner he celebrated great success with the program Broadway Cab's as well as with the pianist and arranger Gerhard Bönig with Paris Blues and Moulin Rouge. He toured Germany and France for several years with these programs. He is a frequent guest performer in Germany and has been a regular guest emcee at the Tigerpalast in Frankfurt for many years. He is the author of a play performed at the Mannheim National Theater: The Tales of Lea Wareck. He also sang in the musical Human Pacific (Richard Geppert) and wrote the libretto People for Geppert.

The "Schönen" always have a special connection to their guests, and this year is probably the longest so far: It has been a full 38 years since Smaida Platais, Stefanie Titus, and this year's guest Jean-Michel Fournereau attended the Mannheim University of Music together, graduating with degrees in opera singing and piano respectively. Even back then, Smaida and Jean-Michel performed in the group "Mannheim Transfer", later Stefanie and Jean-Michel performed with the "Broadway Cabs". In 1995, Smaida, Jean-Michel and another "beauty", Anna Krämer, appeared on stage together countless times in the now legendary Mannheim musical "Human Pacific". The fourth member of the group, Susanne Back, also knows the artist from those days - after all, he was the neighbor of her singing teacher at the time.
The four ladies met Helene Mierscheid in 2018 during a joint performance for the "Sisters of comedy" series at the Tollhaus Karlsruhe. It quickly became clear that the chemistry was right, but as is always the case when both of their schedules are full, it took almost five years before they met again. Anna Krämer, a member of the jury for the Comedy Cup at the Capitol in Mannheim who is always on the lookout for professional talent, brought Helene Mierscheid into the picture. "She was a great choice and really shook up this supposedly male domain at the Cup and brought the Capitol to the boil! And because she is also so likeable and sociable, we quickly realized that we wanted to bring her into our show," says Krämer. Three completely different acts from three different genres, with one common goal: to spend a brilliant evening at the Capitol.
