Christoph Reuter’s Music Makes You Slim! Cabaret Show in Bad Säckingen

Can Music Really Make You Slim? Christoph Reuter Thinks So!

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the show of the year! Where else can you attend a concert and potentially shed a few pounds at the same time? Yes, you guessed it right! Christoph Reuter, that award-winning Berlin pianist and cabaret sensation, is strutting his stuff in Bad Säckingen with his latest program, “Music makes you slim! (except some)” on November 14th at 7:30 p.m. We’re in for a night where the only things lighter than the music are the dietary advice — brace yourself!

Now, let’s dive deep into the conundrum—does music actually help you lose weight? Could it be that your Spotify playlist is more effective than a cardio session? You know, your *favorite* tunes while munching on a bag of chips might be throwing off your “weight loss” vibe! Will we hear if Verdi’s arias are more effective than a treadmill? Or if a raucous rendition of Bob Marley makes you burn calories like a bonfire on a chilly night? And speaking of chilly, does that wedding march that everyone loves to play really count as a calorie burner, or is it just good for warming the hearts of all the invited guests? These are the important questions being tantalizingly teased by Reuter. Forget politics, we have *music diets* to dissect!

But wait, there’s more! You’ll also learn about whether singing can truly help you shed the pounds or if it’s just an excuse to indulge in cake during a post-concert chat. If you often find yourself at the pub after a gig, just nodding along while everyone raves about the lead guitarist’s phenomenal solo, fear not! By the end of this evening, you’ll be equipped with a magical arsenal of babble to throw around that makes it sound like you *actually* know something about music, all while standing on the scales trying to balance out those extra calories — or are they “musical calories?”

Oh, and let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: If you have a marathon in your future, does popping on some Ed Sheeran really give you the edge? Is that not just a little cheeky? Because let’s be honest, if running didn’t feel like punishment enough, now we have to worry about whether our choice of playlist will send us crashing to the ground? Help us all!

Now let’s talk about Christoph Reuter himself—this guy isn’t just some bloke tickling the ivories; he’s got credentials! With accolades like the Thuringian Cabaret Prize 2017 and Leverkusen Cabaret Prize 2022, and a stint accompanying Eckart von Hirschhausen on the piano for over 15 years, he’s not just playing for laughs—he’s playing for keeps!

And if “Everyone is Musical!” has taught us anything, it’s that you might be able to blame your waistline on your allegedly non-musical guests. Trust me, they’ll deny it all while munching on those post-concert snacks!

So, if you’re in the area, don’t miss out on this unique blend of laughs and tunes at the Kursaal. Go grab your tickets now, whether you’re a music lover, a curious calorie-counter, or just someone who enjoys a good giggle with a side of irony. Tickets are available at the Tourist Information Office in Bad Säckingen, or you can ring them at 07761-56830. Because hey, you might even lose a few calories just buying them!

See you there, and remember: life is too short to take everything so seriously—unless it’s your playlist choices. Good luck!

Bad Säckingen (pm/fli) Renowned Berlin pianist and cabaret performer Christoph Reuter is set to captivate audiences with his latest entertaining program, which invites them to explore music through an innovative lens. Titled “Music makes you slim! (except some),” this intriguing production will be presented on Thursday, November 14th, at 7:30 p.m. in the historic Bad Säckinger Kursaal.

Throughout this dynamic show, Christoph Reuter will dive into questions that playfully challenge common perceptions about music and weight. Does listening to your favorite tunes contribute to shedding those stubborn pounds? Can the genre of music we love influence our culinary choices? Intriguingly, which musical instruments are actually the most effective at torching calories, and do those traditional wedding marches hold any merit for weight loss? Furthermore, he explores whether Martin Luther truly pioneered the concept of the songbook, and whether jamming to music during marathons constitutes a form of performance enhancement. Audiences will walk away equipped to engage in light-hearted music conversations with newfound confidence, while also potentially enjoying the benefits of physical activity through laughter and performance. Christoph Reuter’s musical interpretations traverse the works of iconic composers and artists such as Bach, Verdi, Bob Marley, Cole Porter, Sting, and Ed Sheeran, all under the skilled direction of Dominik Wagner.

Celebrated for his contributions to the arts, Christoph Reuter is the proud recipient of both the Thuringian Cabaret Prize in 2017 and the Leverkusen Cabaret Prize in 2022. He has spent more than fifteen years accompanying the esteemed Eckart von Hirschhausen on the piano. His insightful book, “Everyone is musical!” was released in 2021 by Heyne Verlag, further showcasing his passion for music and performance.
