Matthias Reim Develops Musical Based on Iconic Hit 'Verdammt, ich lieb' Dich'

Renowned Schlager artist Matthias Reim is currently in the process of creating a musical inspired by his legendary song 'Verdammt, ich lieb' dich.' Reim believes that this iconic German hit, which is often regarded as one of the greatest in the German-speaking world, deserves to have its own theatrical interpretation.

In a recent statement, Reim shared that he has been collaborating with a creative team for the past six months to bring this project to life. Although he acknowledges that the premiere is still some time away, he has confirmed that the manuscript is complete. The next step involves finding the right individuals to help realize this vision on stage.

Reim described the musical as an adventurous love story set against the backdrop of the highs and lows of a career in the entertainment industry. He emphasized the importance of storytelling through music, highlighting that the narrative will conclude with a happy ending, characteristic of traditional musicals.

Since his breakthrough in 1990 with 'Verdammt, ich lieb' dich,' which dominated the charts for 16 weeks, Reim has become a key figure in the Schlager genre. To commemorate his enduring influence, RTLzwei will air a documentary titled 'Pop Giganten - Matthias Reim' on April 26, exploring both the peaks and valleys of his remarkable career.

As fans eagerly await news of the musical, Reim continues to navigate his artistic journey, looking forward to engaging discussions post his summer tour.
