Helden! - The Legends ft. Michael Varekamp, Tess Merlot & Wiboud Burkens

Heroes!

We all need heroes. Phenomena like Jacques Brel, Frank Sinatra, Ramses Shaffy, Doris Day, Toon Hermans, Picasso, Karel Appel, Spike Lee, and Mohammed Ali provide a golden touch to life every day. In the enchanting music theatre performance 'Heroes of the Past,' The Legends introduce us to their heroes.

For example, singer/trumpeter Michael Varekamp dreamed of following in the footsteps of his first black role model, Louis Armstrong, and keyboardist Wiboud Burkens lived for the soul of Stevie Wonder. Both gentlemen have been the beating heart of The Legends for years. Chansonnier Tess Merlot, in turn, swooned over Walt Disney films as a child.

Anniversary performance

In this program, The Legends are also surrounded by top musicians who have earned their stripes on international stages. Evergreens like 'Love Me Tender,' 'One for My Baby,' and 'Ne me quitte pas' will certainly not be missing in this spectacular program.

To make this anniversary performance extra special, they join forces with director and theatre legend Karel de Rooij, who has previously collaborated with Percossa and the Ashton Brothers.
