JUNE '24 - NEWSFLASH: EPOS Workshop: Star-Studded Cast Announced!

We are thrilled to announce that Drew Sarich will sing the role of Hagen and Cesár Sampson will sing the role of Siegfried at the EPOS workshop this August! 

Drew, a renowned American singer and musical actor, is a cornerstone in the German-speaking musical theatre scene. Known for his roles in "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Les Misérables", "Tanz der Vampire", and "Rocky – Das Musical" he brings a wealth of experience and a vast network of fans and producers to EPOS.

Cesár, an Austrian singer, songwriter, producer, dancer and model, represented Austria in the Eurovision Song Contest 2018 with "Nobody but You", winning the jury vote and finishing third overall. Having Cesár on board is invaluable as EPOS will be presented to key figures in the international musical industry to persuade them to produce and stage this groundbreaking musical.

By investing in "EPOS", you can benefit from the exploitation of the Grand Rights and participate in the pro-rata box-office remuneration of the Publisher’s Net Proceeds, potentially achieving up to 500% ROI.

The musical promises an exciting star-studded cast, which will be revealed in the coming months. With the renowned arranger & orchestrator Michael Reed on board, "EPOS" is set to captivate audiences and make a mark in the world of musical theatre. Michael Reed has an illustrious career, having conducted the London world premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Phantom of the Opera”.

About ZOË

Zoë Straub was born into a family of musicians and was introduced to Mozart’s Magic Flute at a young age by her parents, sparking her love for opera. Growing up, she immersed herself in the rich history of musical theatre, developing a passion for iconic shows like “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Cats,” and “Les Miserables.”

Already a successful singer-songwriter and actress, Zoë auditioned for a lead role in a major musical in early 2023 but narrowly missed out on the part in the final round. It was then that she decided to pursue her long-held dream of creating her own musical. Drawing inspiration from her school days, she chose the legendary medieval tale of the “Nibelungenlied” as her subject matter, aiming to infuse its timeless themes of love, betrayal, heroism, and vengeance into a modern musical context.

Over the course of a year, Zoë composed 20 songs for her musical, titled EPOS, blending her diverse musical influences, from epic ballads with lush orchestral arrangements to contemporary beats and Beatles-inspired melodies. The musical also incorporates rock elements, featuring distorted electric guitars and powerful drums, contrasted with quieter moments of piano and strings reminiscent of the 1960s, all carefully crafted to enhance the emotional journey of the story.

Zoë has assembled a team of top-tier talent, including an internationally renowned arranger and a stellar cast from the German-speaking musical world, to bring her vision to life.

Now, you have the opportunity to join Zoë on her journey. Support her next step by participating in the workshop and reading on August 30th and 31st, 2024. The workshop aims to inspire producers to bring EPOS to major theatres across German-speaking countries and to gain valuable feedback on how to further refine the production for a wide audience.

Looking forward to welcoming you on board!
