Feature: Best Theatre of 2022 For Austria & Germany

Let's call it a year. Recovering from the pandemic episode, home alone, only connected via Video Calls, (more or less) entertained by living room concerts instead of spending a night out at the theatre, we got the opportunity to enjoy various shows over Austria and Germany. We returned to the theatre, enjoying the atmosphere, the smell, and everything a night out offers.

Retrospecting 2022, here is my TOP TEN List of shows I got the chance to witness in the German Speaking area.

• MISS SAIGON is an emotional High-Class Revival with an excellent VBW Orchestra and an astounding Christian Rey Marbella as the Engineer.

• FANNY AND ALEXANDER The Cast Recording of the newest Musical from the Landestheater Linz.

• THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW TOUR is an entertainingly bad and bizarre production with probably the Best Opening Night date ever! (The Show opened in Vienna on my birthday, what a lovely present!)

• TITANIC THE MUSICAL, an emotional evening presented by the wonderful Musical Ensemble Linz, congenial directed by Simon Eichenberg.

• REBECCA THE MUSICAL with Broadway and West End Star Willemijn Verkaik as Mrs. Danvers,Mark Seibert as Mr. DeWinter, and Nienke Latten as I.

• HAMILTON in Hamburg The Musical Revolution for the first time in a foreign language.

• Frank Wildhorn's The Danube Symphony World Premiere with the Vienna Symphonic Orchestra, conducted by Koen Schoots.

• MOULIN ROUGE THE MUSICAL, Broadways Smash-Hit has landed in Cologne

• THE PALAZZO DINNER SHOW an entertainingly delicious night out at Toni Mörwalds.

• MUSICAL DINNER BEFORE CHRISTMAS at THE VINDOBONA, there might be no better way to get into the festive mood than by enjoying Christmas songs and fine cuisine.

As 2022 has brought us some great shows, let us see what 2023 has to offer. A merry Christmas to all of you!
