Friedrichstadt-Palast

Absolutely electrifying. Spectacular, and a must see if you go to Berlin. The performers were incredible and it was the best show I had ever seen. Every time amorher act came out you didn't think you could top it but it kept getting better and better!

we went there to watch Falling in Love with the kids. The choreography is amazing and the music the whole show is breathtaking.
I just felt that it may not be recommended for young kids below 9 years old.
The scenes of the trampolines and the acrobatic dance were on another level.

Lady from poster has nothing to do with show. Commercial venue. Time for an honest review. I’ve seen Phantom of the Opera and alike grand shows. This has nothing to with them. It is a simple very lame copycat style typical for berlin. It was primary troupe and choreography was so off, kids do better at competitions. You can tell they don’t care and just doing their job at average. Crowd is not demanding. Costumes are great. Can’t hide that. Sound was super low and you can hear people around you easily. Not all singing was live. They use phonogram and put voiceovers. Orchestra(small band) was there but lots were prerecorded. Like females singing f with only males around. Chameleon is the only guy who enjoys his role and job. Main roles - come on. Where you’ve found them? Can’t find better ones ? In Berghain? Bar - cheapest everything including VIP bar with same assortment. Diva lounge - same assortment. It was a joke. Left at the half break. People filming and attendants just go in front and show iPad with no photo signs disturbing others attracting attention to those who misbehave and basically never send them out even at brake after 5 times. What a lame joke. Singing is terrible too btw. I DO NOT recommend to go if you anywhere aware of standards of Lloyd Webber level shows or anywhere real theaters. It is looks like school Christmas show really. Except costumes. Those are great. Oh. Don’t bother buying expensive tickets. Maybe in the middle if you care but cheapest would give you almost same view everywhere. Tickets boot was nice to cancel accidentally purchased ticket. Thank you. Will never go again. It is simply below standards and oriented for crowd from the countryside or smaller towns who never seen real deal. Good luck deleting this comment guys (: not gonna work.
Oh. They claim to be biggest theater stage - that must’ve been a joke ) La Scala sends their greetings and also London opera )

Love the shows there. I took my teenage girls for the first time and they were totally awestruck.
We saw “falling in love”. The two main protagonists were girls which added a nice modern touch to the story.
The stage technology is mind baffling especially the use of waterfalls and circular pool in the stage centre that can change its depth, fountains etc.
Also loved the cancan and that on closer inspection the guys were sure to hold their own in strut and dance. One of my daughters didn’t even realise that men were interlaced!
Great that they did summer holiday performances this year.

Impossible to explain the “falling in love” show. Not much of a story line but plenty to look at - amazing stage, costumes, lighting! We went for the cheap seats (row 9 seat 4 and 5) which had a perfect view as we had heard mixed reviews! Well worth what we spent (I don’t know that the more expensive seats are worth the extra). Not for the faint hearted or small kids but definitely good value for a 2 hour show
