Review: PIPPIN - DIE KUNST DES LEBENS at Staatsoperette Dresden


by André Böke - May 24, 2026

For the Staatsoperette Dresden, the German-language premiere of Stephen Schwartz’s classic “Pippin – Die Kunst des Lebens” is a triumph on every level. Visual opulence, sharply played tragicomedy, a thunderously powerful orchestra, choreography overflowing with highlights, and a vocally form...

Review: MJ - DAS MUSICAL at Stage Theater An Der Elbe


by Konstantin Georgiou - May 18, 2026

MJ – Das Michael Jackson Musical in Hamburg fühlte sich für mich fast wie die perfekte Fortsetzung des großartigen Films „Michael“ an: Während der Film etwa 1988 endet, setzt das Musical mitten in der Dangerous-Ära der frühen 90er an und verbindet Musik, Emotionen und Flashbacks auf erst...

Review: SISTER ACT - National Tour, Germany


by André Böke - May 10, 2026

Review: MÄNNERPARADIES at Boulevardtheater Bremen


by Konstantin Georgiou - May 08, 2026

„Männerparadies“ im Boulevardtheater Bremen: starke Darsteller, vor allem Marc Gelhart & Marco Linke, aber das Stück wirkt eher wie eine Sketch-Reihe ohne echte Handlung. Viel Potenzial bei Themen wie Männlichkeit & Vater/Sohn Dynamik verschenkt. Sehr 2000er. Trotzdem: Publikum hatte Spaß....
