Read about previous shows and artists from Stars in Concert:

 

Coco Fletcher as Whitney Houston and Tina Turner

estrel whitneyhouston fletcher01 01    estrel sic tinaturner 04

 

Coco Fletcher comes from Huntsville (Alabama) and has spent more than 10 years in the show business whitin various genres such as rock, pop, jazz and blues. Performences with many well-known musicians such as Little Milton and Bobby Womack, first took her to Las Vegas and finally to Berlin. In September 1997, she was one of the first in the cast of "Stars in Concert". In 1999 she got the lead role in the revue "Elements" at Friedrichstadtpalast. After this she returned to "Stars in Concert" and has had big success. She demonstrates her amazing talent and incredible versatility when she impersonates Tina Turner. With the distinct sound in her voice, her extraordinary outfits and a performance bursting with energy, she brings the great rock diva back on stage. But as soon as she takes on the role as Whitney Houston, the wild rock singer is no longer noticeable. Coco Fletcher is the most virsatile artist on the show Stars in Concert. Both visually and musically, she presents two significant singers in the history of music, where she captivates the audience with her convincing interpretation of Whitney Houston and Tina Turner. 

 

Melissa Totten as Madonna

 Madonna 4 01

 

Melissa Totten came up with the idea of appearing professionally as "Madonna" in Chicago in 1988: She was on the bus to Chicago College, where she was studying to be a copywriter, when a passenger commented on Totten's astonishing resemblance to "The Queen of Pop" and asked her every now and then to perform at a company event. She then realized she could make a career out of it. Meanwhile, the native American has appeared as Madonna in a long line of productions around the world for more than 20 years. Including six years in the show "Legends in Concert" in Las Vegas, and since 1997 she has been a permanent member of the ensemble at "Stars in Concert" in Berlin. Her visual and vocal perfection as Madonna is fascinating. Her skilled and well-executed performance means that she can easily be mistaken for the right star. Totten got her big break in the limelight during a cruise in 1990, where she was part of the famous cast of Al Anthony's "Salute to the Superstars" for six months. After that, Korea, Australia, Mexico, India, Thailand, Spain, Hungary, Sweden, Turkey and Japan were among the stations in her career.  

 

Robert Hawthorn as Rod Stewart

 estrel sic rodstewart hawthorn 01 01

When Rod Stewart had his farewell tour with the band "Faces", Robert Hawthorn stood side by side with him on stage. At the time, however, no one thought that Hawthorn would one day become one of Rod Stewart's best doublegängers. With Stars in Concert, he takes us on a journey back in time with hits such as "Sailing", "Maggie May", "Hot Legs" and "Tonights the night". With his 20 years in show business in the band "Strider", he was constantly asked about his resemblance to Rod Stewart. He finally decided to implement a character of the superstar and the result is simply impressive! The voice, appearance, personality and movements convince even Rod Stewart's biggest fans!

 

Chris and Geoff Dahl as "The Blues Brothers"

estrel sic bluesbrothers 10 1240

 

Chris and Geoff Dahl have been on international stages as "Blues Brothers" for many years. In the program for the Las Vegas Live Show "Stars in Concert", with their energetic performance, they have become favorites of the audience. The brothers, who were born in London/ Ontario, Canada, are not only gifted singers, but also demonstrate outstanding musical talent when it comes to instrumentation. Geoff Dahl masters several instruments simultaneously: Guitar, bass, harmonica, violin and banjo. Between 1980 and 1989 he played in four top-40 rock bands. Later, he switched completely to the blues with the "Uptown Blooze Band" and played with well-known musicians such as Donny Walsh (Downchild Blues Band), John Ellison, Chicago Pete, Mel Brown, Shirley King and during his time with "Old Chicago Blues Band". Also with blues legend Dutch Mason. Since 1995, the freelance musician and composer has lived up to his role as "Elwood Blues" and repeatedly triggers storms of applause from the audience with his harmonica solos. Chirs Dahl's first instrument was drums, later on he played clarinet in the school band and later learned guitar and piano at a music academy. Like his brother he also played in "Uptown Blooze Band" and other top-40 bands before he concentrated entirely on his career as "Jake Blues" in the mid-90s. 

 

Since then, the two brothers have delighted audiences around the world: In addition to countless performances in the US and Canada, Chris and Geoff Dahl have also appeared on stages in the United Arab Emirates and in Bosnia.

Elvis - From Rock n`Roll to Gospel - with the Stamps Quartet 

 

Grahame Patrick as Elvis Presley

Elvis Musical ohneSchrift

 

 We introduce the main artist, Grahame Patrick, referred to as "the best Elvis since Elvis": 

Grahame was born in Dublin. He was brought up in a musical home, with a father who was a musician and thus a natural role model for Grahame.
Grahame's fascination with Elvis came in his early years, and the idea of performing as the "King of Rock'n Roll" was something he decided early on to carry out. 
"I wanted to pass on the passion I've always had for Elvis' music to others, in a package that is both realistic and can bring out the emotions in the audience", says Grahame Patrick himself.
As a young man, he moved to Toronto, Canada with his parents. Here he started performing Elvis impersonations in bars and clubs in the early 90s.
One evening his talent was discovered by a producer, who ended up giving him a contract that very evening. 
Then followed a period of 7 years with a high number of shows in Las Vegas - the eldorado for show business.
In 2003, Grahame Patrick became part of Stars in Concert, in Berlin.

He became the front man in "Elvis - The Musical", which has been shown in Europe since 2004. 
In this way, he has shown what an exeptional artist he is, with an appearance and a voice that could be mistaken for "The King" himself.
In 2015, the musical toured around Germany, Austria and Switzerland - they visited over 60 cities, and had over 100,000 visitors.
