HP Lengkeit is HAUI - Peter Engelhardt accompanies
The most important thing about this evening is of course the songs by Howard Carpendale, with which Heinz Peter Lengkeit - the most wonderful Haui you can imagine - tells the story of a life together with Peter Engelhardt on guitar. Most of this story is true. And even if many people in the audience don't think they are Carpendale fans, they can still sing along to every song. To their own amazement.
HP Lengkeit is comedic, sometimes silly and very personal. Is that a tribute to Carpendale? Yes, definitely. A look at all the years in which German pop music has changed again and again? That too! What remains is longing congealed in music!
"This HAUI is a hit"
NDR KULTURJOURNAL 90.3 April 2024
"HP Lengkeit repeatedly takes the mickey out of Carpendale's attitudes, satirizing him so charmingly and respectfully that it's a joy. (...) In short: you don't have to like Carpendale to love "Haui"."
MOPO HAMBURG April 2024
"Despite all the irony and parody, a respectful piece of hit theater has succeeded: Fantastic entertainment. Rarely laughed so much. I haven't become a Howard Carpendale fan. But a HAUi fan. Cheers, long applause, shouts for encores. Definitely watch it!"
WAZ ESSEN September 2023
