Live Music · MUSICALS IN GERMANY
The 4 best musicals in Germany you can book tonight, with what a seat costs, how long it runs and who it suits. Number one is top for a reason; start there.
Spend about three hours at Tipi am Kanzleramt for Cabaret, following Sally Bowles through 1930s Berlin. Expect German dialogue, some English songs, live music, table seating, a €5 food and drink voucher, and views near the Reichstag and Chancellery.
“Great set-up but as I'm English speaking it is a little difficult. Still had a good time.”
See Moulin Rouge! The Musical at Cologne’s Musical Dome, beside the central station. Follow Christian, Satine, Toulouse-Lautrec, and Santiago through a glittering Parisian romance backed by 75 songs from 165 composers. Exchange your voucher for a numbered seat ticket before the show.
Head to Berlin’s Estrel Showtheater for All You Need Is Love, a Beatles musical performed by the Twist & Shout band. Expect a staged story of the group’s rise to fame, familiar songs such as Help!, Yesterday, and Hey Jude, plus singing, dancing, and Beatles-style looks.
Join Amelia, performing as Margarete von Schwangau, for a 1-hour-45-minute walk through Rothenburg. Hear Minnesang, medieval chant, and Renaissance songs at the Town Hall, Plönlein, Holy Ghost Church, and Spital Bastion while learning the city’s stories.
“A classically trained singer did a lot of research about the medieval town of Rothenburg. She actually lives in the town & knows all the nooks & crannies & the stories that go w/ them. We hit all the 700 yr old highlights w/ a song to go w/ each.”
Pick a genre, a room or a night of the week.
