Drama Queens, a five-star arts journal focusing on female artists

Both audiences and the press said bravo to the award winning Chansons .  “The audience reactions about Chansons have been wonderful. I’ll give you some examples:. “

• An older lady said the cabaret was so beautiful, that she had tears in her eyes
• A gentleman got up and gave me standing ovations after the applause had ended. He said that after four miserable weeks he will leave my show with a smile.
•  A younger women wrote me a feedback on the festivals’ website: 

“From the minute the lights went down, Stefanie Rummel created an atmosphere so moving, so nostalgic and electric, we were all spellbound. Not many performers make me cry, or smile through those tears… “

The press reacted very positively: 

“Rummel’s voice is outstanding: it moves from delicate, lingering notes (in a superb cover of Autumn Leaves) to real moments of joie de vivre in Rummel’s take on the Piaf classic, L’Accordeoniste.”
★★★★ The Reviews Hub

“A fascinating show, comfortably paced and with the right amount of history, songs and personal anecdotes, it held my attention despite me being far from fully conversant in French.”
★★★★ LondonTheatre1

I also won several awards with my show Chansons such as: 

• 1 award for Chansons and 4 other  awards connected to my show from the German Rock Pop Price 2022 
• Best Vocalist Finalist Intercontinental Music Award 2022
• Silver Medal – Golden Music Awards 2022

Some artists found virtual performances to be a challenge.  Ms. Rummel saw it in a positive light and it worked out really well for her.  “Chansons on Zoom works really well.  I do my best to create a warmhearted atmosphere as though I were in a real theatre or cabaret setting. The audience is enabled to interact with me in the show, we laugh, talk and reflect together, they can lean back when I sing and they can give a real applause. I also offer talkbacks after the show.”

“One American man told me the show let him travel to France without experiencing one minute of jetlag.  Performing online opens the stage for Chansons to the world. Whether it is San Francisco, London, Frankfurt or Sydney.”

Having a Tony award winning Broadway producer in your corner is mighty impressive.  Ms. Rummel made the connection when performances were happening virtually.  “Digital exchange in Theatre became the essence for artists since 2020. I reached out to the world and met the Theatermakers’ Studio from the Tony Award winner Ken Davenport. He gave a talk at the Actors Connection and I got hooked.”

“This online community he has created, supports artists in many ways I am in a Mastermind group which I lead. I took part at writing challenges. I was able to pitch Chansons to several producers. In addition, I sang at the Theatermakers’ Summit Cabaret songs like Jacques Brels’ song ‘Amsterdam’.  And Theatermakers’ Studio nominated my work and Chansons five times – Producer of the Year & Choice Theatermaker 2021 and Best Player & Best Musical & Choice Theatermaker 2022.”

Ms. Rummel’s artistic journey with Chansons has been nothing but positive.  She made incredible connections professionally and personally.  She traveled the world with her art.  She enriched her own life as well as the lives of others. “My show Chansons has supported me to travel the world and to learn a lot.  I had the chance to perform my musical theatre cabaret many times in so many various countries and all different kind of venues. I am very thankful for the support of top professionals which helped me refine my show, my marketing and my performance. The growing exchange with colleagues, producers and agents is so precious.”

“The creation and production of art projects is a journey. With every step you take, you can learn. Have the courage to cross inner and outer borders, to start the journey and meet people.Do things you have not done yet. You do them once and you become more knowledgeable. I did not expect that my digital connections would lead me, to support each other in such a sustainable way, to meet colleagues in person, to even rent an Airbnb together, to go to festivals during Covid and to be there for each other, within such a short amount of time. It feels now as if I am actually sitting next to a colleague when I am in a mastermind or when I perform, exchange or give workshops online. 

I am so thankful to perform so often, to travel to countries I have never been to, to meet people I have never seen before and to make new friends and to share new experiences thanks to Chansons.”

Up next this Sheila will be making new mates when she takes her show to Australia.  Undoubtedly the audiences will be cheering “Bonzer!”.  Trust me, that’s a compliment.  She’ll also be giving talks, taking her show to the high seas and developing new material for all to enjoy.  “Chansons will tour for example to Australia in February 2023 with the agency The Garage International at the Town Hall of Adelaide. I am planning to stream my show if you cannot make it there. Keep an eye on it and write me if you want to see my show.”  Here are my in person performance details for Australia:

“Other than that, I am about to send out abstracts to give talks about 2D and 3D MRI voice research for example in Vienna 2023. I will also continue to support singers and actors in their vocal development and vocal health.”

“Furthermore, I will look for cooperation partners for crossover recordings and further productions of my show.  During the last two years I have written new songs which I plan to integrate into a new show.”

“Finally, Australia, here I come!  I am excited about having been asked to perform my shows Chansons and Ladies First on a luxury cruise ship in Europe.
