THE UDO JÜRGENS STORY - With Gabriela Benesch & Alex Parker

The Austrian who won the Grand Prix Eurovision de la Chanson in 1966 celebrated a worldwide hit with the song "Merci, Chérie," reaching top chart positions in over 20 countries. Thus, the chansonnier became one of the most significant entertainers of the 20th and early 21st centuries. With over 100 million records sold and more than 50 released albums, he was one of the commercially most successful male solo artists in the world. Five years after his death, "The UDO JÜRGENS Story" offers all fans the opportunity to get close to their idol once again. This extraordinary homage to the grand seigneur of the German entertainment industry is packaged in a light-hearted and amusing evening of songs, a delightful and entertaining concert night – compiled by Gabriela Benesch, who was awarded Best Actress of the Year in Vienna in 2014. Trained pianist Alex Parker sings the works of the unforgettable schlager bard as if he were personally on stage. The musical journey includes all the big hits such as "Mit 66 Jahren," "Ich War Noch Niemals In New York," and "Griechischer Wein," as well as some rarities. In the style of the entertainer, he accompanies himself on the piano. Daughter Jenny Jürgens raved after the premiere: "A must for all Udo fans!"
