5.2Disguised as package tourists on the island of Kos, the Schmirinskis bring the Greek hotel routine to life in a way that will have you laughing out loud. With clever situational comedy and amusing acrobatics, the "harmonious rivals" master unfamiliar situations. Neither sandcastles nor beauty queens are safe from them. And finally, is a vacation idyll in sight? A changing parody by Walter Andreas Müller ensures a chaotic end to every enjoyable night at the tavern. Memories of the two comedians flow skillfully into the story as individual episodes: Heidi's historic homecoming, how does a TED poll actually work, or is smuggling a matter of the right outfit? In any case, Schmidi and René's holiday greetings leave us with the humorous certainty that holidays are not just about dolce far niente. Or are they?

6.6The stage musical Peter Pan starring Cathy Rigby has toured the world to great acclaim. An adaptation of the famous 1954 musical directed by Jerome Robbins and starring Mary Martin, this new version is lasting proof that J.M. Barrie's tale of the boy who would never grow up is one of the kingpins of family entertainment. All the elements are in good form for this video production shot at the Mirada Theater in 2000 for the A&E Network. Some new songs have been added to the fabulous Moose Charlap-Carolyn Leigh score (which includes "Tender Shepherd," "I Gotta Crow," "I'm Flying," and "I Won't Grow Up"). But the biggest asset to this production are the spectacular flying sequences: Peter even soars over the audience at times. Martin was a stronger actress in a close-up, but Rigby is magical with her athleticism and spark, most notably in a percussion-filled song and dance number "Ugh-a-Wug.".
