The first Cuban musical Carmen la Cubana, co-produced with the renowned Théâtre du Châtelet, premiered in Paris in 2016 and has been running in theatres worldwide since 2018. At Mehr-BB Entertainment, with which the BB Group merged in April 2019, Ralf Kokemüller was CEO and producer until the end of 2022. In this role, he was responsible for the in-house production of the 1920s revue Berlin Berlin, which celebrated an acclaimed premiere at the Admiralspalast in 2019 and subsequently went on tour several times. By now, Kokemüller is devoting himself to his tasks as a producer and consultant.
