Heinz Hoenig is in the hospital. He cannot play his role in Ralph Siegel’s musical “A Little Peace”.
Heinz Hoenig (72) should actually be rehearsing with the ensemble of the musical “A Little Peace” for the premiere next week in May. But the actor is out due to hospitalization due to heart surgery. What does this mean for the star-studded piece by Ralph Siegel (78)?
So things continue with “A Little Peace” without Heinz Hoenig
When asked by the news agency spot on news, Siegel’s management Siegelring explained: “Mr. Hoenig is in the hospital due to an acute heart problem and therefore unfortunately cannot be on stage for the musical ‘A Little Peace’. His wife Annika Hoenig will also not appear. as she understandably stands by her husband’s side during this difficult time.”
The musical will take place as planned “despite these sad circumstances”. “The role of Heinz Hoenig will be taken on by the renowned musical actor Alexander Kerbst (Falco, Westside Story, etc.). And the role of Annika Hoenig will be taken on by Simone Ballack,” it continues. The rehearsals will also continue.
Heinz Hoenig’s family is asking for donations
In addition, the family asks that Heinz Hoenig be supported “with a fundraising campaign to cover the costs of the upcoming heart operation.” According to management, it is “a higher six-figure sum that Mr. Hoenig cannot afford at the moment due to a lack of health insurance.” The 72-year-old is said to be in a coma. His condition is critical, which is why he is in the intensive care unit in Berlin. His wife Annika Kärsten-Hoenig (39), with whom he has two small sons, is with him.
“A little peace – Summer of Love”, which is based on Ralph Siegel’s Eurovision hit of the same name from 1982, tells the story of the musician Nina (played by Jennifer Siemann, 33), who discovers the secret of a long-hidden love between an East German rock musician and is on the trail of a West German hippie girl. The musical celebrates its Munich premiere on May 9th and can be seen at the Deutsches Theater Munich until May 19th.
