This was Germany's second production, but first traditional staging
A local version played in the city of Essen early in 1980, deviating greatly from the official productions, in characterisation, costuming and set, and producing an LP recording, sold at the venue.
The second staging was from London, with a British cast. A co-German/British production, it was supposed to have an exctensive run, but lack of co-operation from the German producers, saw Cameron Mackintosh pull the show after only a few weeks. Frank emerged from a black coffin in this production.
