A new Das Festhaus show in the same vein as Entwined will be making its debut in Spring of 2015.
Casting descriptions for the new show:
Again, I've been told in no uncertain terms that this show will be an Entwined replacement, not a This is Oktoberfest replacement. This claim is easily evidenced by the style range description of "Broadway to Pop." Thomas also pointed out to me that the casting descriptions sound very reminiscent of the characters which made up Wunderbarn back in 2012. Terrifying.
