The latest reviews and critic recommendations from Germany.
Off-Musical Frankfurt's stripped-down, bare-bones, cheaply-produced touring production of GREEN DAY'S AMERICAN IDIOT that was foisted upon the half-empty Admiralspalast in Berlin last night had almost NOTHING to do with the musical presented on Broadway.
What a night! KINKY BOOTS in Hamburg is a Must See.
20 years after watching Roman Polanski's world-premiere production, it was with great trepidation that I entered the Musical Dome in Cologne, to watch DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES again.
Watching CABARET in Berlin, near the original locations of Christopher Isherwood's Book 'I Am A Camera,' gives this Kander and Ebb classic even more dramatic weight than it could possibly have in a New York or London production.
Jonas Kaufmann is probably the most sought-after tenor on the planet today.
Currently, the world of opera is sorely lacking superstar talent.
'Wop baba lu bap a wap bam boom!!' 47 years after its Broadway debut and 40 years after John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John sang and danced their way into the world's collective consciousness, GREASE is still the word! This touring production of GREASE, which has been on the road in German-speak
A group of young performers (Donna Lee, Darell Hanes, Alexander Simoes, Carrie Getman, Udo Wiegand, and Sara McKee) work with 100% commitment, futilely trying to turn Ken Shakin's THE WANDERING, a musicalized re-imagining of James Joyce's 'Ulysses,' (factually a short Oratorio), into a fully-staged
Deutsche Oper Berlin's Verdi Festival 2018 took a very inauspicious turn with last night's woefully underrehearsed performance of LA TRAVIATA.
In the right hands, Rossini's IL BARBIERE DI SIVIGLIA can be one of the funniest pieces in the standard operatic repertoire.
WAHNSINN! dresses up the extremely commercial, completely interchangeable Wolfgang Petry songs with a clever set design, colorful costumes, interesting choreography and a couple of memorable performances.
If you let a Chimpanzee drive a speeding locomotive, you'd get a train wreck similar to DIE FLEDERMAUS at Deutsche Oper Berlin.
The British are Coming!!! If Sid Vicious and Bertold Brecht had a baby.
Theater Erfurt's General Director, Guy Montavon was responsible for nearly turning THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, (Der fliegende Hollander) Richard Wagner's technicolor, romantic dream of an opera into a black, white and grey nightmare.
At the Deutsche Oper Berlin on Saturday night, David Pountney, director of CAV/PAG saddled these beloved works with a concept so profound in its stupidity that it was often mind-blowing and jaw-dropping in its inanity.
If you want 'bang' for your entertainment buck, make a beeline to the Theater im Keller's Website and try to secure a ticket to BERLIN? WE! LOVE! YOU! As the show only performs on weekends and seating is very limited, I would advise you to plan ahead and take any ticket you can get, but get into
Last night, at the Comic Opera of Berlin I was gobsmacked.
An "officially licensed" touring production with the blessing of both Dan Ackroyd and Judith Belushi (John's widow) The Blues Brothers is a highly-choreographed, very entertaining, commercial product that has no pretense of being artistic … and that is it's greatest asset.
GHOST in Berlin's historic Theater des Westens, has almost every element needed to be a great evening of musical theater.
Basierend auf Hape Kerkelings Filmsatire 'Kein Pardon' feierte das Musical aus der Feder von Achim Hagemann und Thomas Zaufke mit einem Buch von Thomas Hermanns im November 2011 seine Welturauffuhrung in Dusseldorf.
Total originell, amüsant und bedingungslos empfehlenswert ist dieses Musical von Jeff Bowen und Hunter Bell.
Live auf der Buhne des Berliner Admiralpalastes: SYMPHONIACS Eine Review von Marcel Konrath
Schon Sondheim wusste, dass es die kleinen Dinge sind, die eine gut funktionierende Ehe und Partnerschaft geschmeidig und perfekt werden lassen.
Disney ist erwachsen geworden! Nachdem „Der Glockner von Notre Dame' 1999 seine Welturauffuhrung in Berlin feierte, halt nun eine neue Inszenierung Einzug im majestatischen Theater des Westens.
It was quite a performance at the National Technical Museum.
