Children's musical group presents world premiere of "Password Time Machine

On Friday, May 13, 2022 at 5 p.m., Saturday, May 14, 2022 at 4 p.m. and Sunday, May 15, 2022 at 4 p.m., around 40 musical children from the Bocholt-Isselburg Music School together with the musical choir of the Diepenbrockgrundschule will present the musical "Password Time Machine" as a world premiere in the auditorium of the municipal comprehensive school (Rheinstr. 4b) in Bocholt. Tickets cost 7 euros.

It is the latest musical by the well-known children's musical author Gerhard A. Meyer, written and composed in the first lockdown phase in 2020. Now, for the first time, the children of the Bocholt children's musical group, directed by Stefanie Bergmann, will bring the piece to the stage together with the musical choir of the Bocholt Diepenbrockgrundschule. "To be somewhere else for once" - that's probably what many children and young people wish for, who are fed up with school and bullied by their little brother. This is also the case for Josie, Jollie and Marvin when they unexpectedly come across a strange cell phone that turns out to be a time machine.

Now there is no stopping the three of them and they travel through time: from the Middle Ages to the future and back again. They quickly realize that although they can make new friends in the future, the future also holds some unpleasant things in store for them. But suddenly they are "lost in a new time" and traveling back to our time is not so easy, because they fall into the clutches of an evil journeyman who only wants to use the power of time travel for himself.......

With fantastically beautiful music, author Gerhard A. Meyer takes the audience into an exciting world in which everything seems possible. The musical sounds correspondingly diverse.

Under the direction of music school teacher Stefanie Bergmann, more than 40 children between the ages of five and 15 have been rehearsing their roles and songs every week for almost a year. The Chor AG and the "JeKits Choir" of the Diepenbrock School in Bocholt are also involved again. But there is not only singing and theater, also various dances were rehearsed together with dance coach Floralie Reiff.

"This year we get to premiere the new play by Gerhard Meyer," reports musical director Stefanie Bergmann. Gerhard Meyer is a well-known musical composer in children's musical circles, she said. His previously published pieces (including, for example, "Life in Space," "Tom's Dream," "Schwein gehabt") are indispensable from stages and school auditoriums in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, says Bergmann. "Music school teacher Karl-Heinz Höper arranged the songs from texts, sheet music and a piano work version by the author," Bergmann reports. This is a very special honor for our musical children, all are very proud and already very excited, Bergmann looks forward to the performances.

Advance ticket sales on the Internet

"This year we are organizing ticket sales online via the portal "eveeno". Since we do not know yet how the seating in the assembly hall of the comprehensive school will look, no firm seat maps are intended, explain music school chief Claudia Borgers. It applies thus "free seat choice". The tickets cost 7 euro per map. The map sales are possible immediately over this left: https://eveeno.com/Kindermusical
