He was the first voice I recognised. I was 3 years old when this tape ran .... 20 years later I knew I knew Van Krolock on a much deeper level....and did some research. This was the first song beside nursery rhymes I've heard. And then the shock: he died a year after I realised his voice was the first voice, long before kids heard radio / pop, etc.....it was since ingrained in my memory but I didn't find out until I heard "Dance of the vampires" and realised this was not a voice I was used to from listening a 1000 times ....this went much deeper....and I researched where he had been , every role and BOOM ! THIS WAS WHAT MY MUM HAD ON CASSETTE, OTHER THAN OPERAS....AND A FEW OTHER A.L. Webber titles. I almost fainted . The first pop star I ever had was STEVE ! And a year later he was gone. ..

Schon immer seit es Musicals im deutschsprachigen Raum gibt. Schon 1968 haben Amerikaner einige Rollen in West Side Story in Wien gespielt.
