Duisburg – New fuss about the lightning-off of “‘N bit of peace”. Is Ralph Siegel (77) partly to blame for the bankruptcy of his musical?
The insolvent producer published a report according to which the star composer owes him 105,000 euros.
Ralph Siegel came to Duisburg in person for the premiere of the musical “NITTLE PEACE”.
► Review: After only five performances after the premiere on October 20, the musical went bankrupt in November. Actors and employees have been waiting for their fees ever since. 23 artists reported production boss Wolfgang DeMarco (57) for fraud and embezzlement. The public prosecutor is investigating, BILD reported.
DeMarco always denied all allegations. He now allegedly presented exculpatory details from the insolvency administrator’s report to BILD.
Accordingly, Ralph Siegel is partly responsible for the financial disaster. Siegel only paid almost two thirds of a 300,000 euro loan, he owed the rest.
After all: The actors should receive the state bankruptcy money in January
Siegel’s lawyer denies the open payment obligation. The report also confirms that even this amount would not have prevented bankruptcy.
Hope for the actors: They should get the state bankruptcy money paid out in January.
