Cabaret - Das Berlin-Musical Tickets

What the show is about

Berlin, 1929: American writer Clifford Bradshaw comes to the city in search of material and rents a room from Fräulein Schneider. At the Kit Kat Klub he meets English nightclub singer Sally Bowles. Meanwhile Fräulein Schneider and the Jewish fruit seller Herr Schultz fall in love, as the Nazis gain more and more influence. The musical is based on Christopher Isherwood's Berlin stories and John van Druten's play “I Am a Camera”.

Who the show is for

Cabaret is an evening for adults and teenagers aged 12 and over who like musicals with a political background. The dialogue is in German, so the evening works best if you understand some German or know the story. You sit at tables, can eat in the tent beforehand and see the story in the city where it is set.

• Language: German, some songs in English
• Age: 12 and over
• Theatre: Tipi am Kanzleramt, Große Querallee
• Running: 26 June to 26 September 2027

Summer season 2027

Cabaret has played at the Tipi am Kanzleramt every summer since 2010; before that, Vincent Paterson's production ran at the Bar jeder Vernunft. The next season opens on 26 June 2027 and closes on 26 September 2027. Performances are Tuesday to Saturday at 20:00 and Sunday at 19:00. The book is by Joe Masteroff, the German text by Robert Gilbert.

Getting to the Tiergarten

The Tipi am Kanzleramt is on Große Querallee, 10557 Berlin, between the Federal Chancellery and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Take bus 100 to Platz der Republik or the U5 to Bundestag. Hauptbahnhof and Brandenburger Tor S-Bahn stations are nearby, and boats also stop at the Kanzleramt. There are very few parking spaces, for example on John-Foster-Dulles-Allee and Straße des 17. Juni. There are bike racks in front of the Tipi.

Doors and dinner

Doors and the restaurant open one and a half hours before the show. On the summer terrace overlooking the Chancellery you can order until about 20 minutes before the start; there is no service during the performance. With a GetYourGuide ticket you exchange your voucher for an admission ticket at the box office; allow 30 to 60 minutes before the start for this. The ticket includes a small food and drink voucher.

The evening

You sit at tables; your table is assigned when you book, and you choose your seat at it on the night. Jackets, bags and backpacks must be left at the cloakroom, which charges a small fee. There is no dress code.

With teenagers and wheelchair access

Children under 12 are not admitted. The box office and foyer are step-free, and in the auditorium the first five rows of tables in the top price category can be reached without steps. Wheelchair spaces are limited and are reserved by phone with the Tipi.

Cancellation

You can cancel your ticket free of charge up to 24 hours before the start and get the full price back. Die Bettwurst plays in the mirror tent of the Tipi's sister venue; directions to every theatre are under Plan your visit.

Buying direct

The Tipi am Kanzleramt also sells its own tickets, through its web shop, by phone and at the box office.
