Five venues in Berlin

The seven shows play in five venues. The Friedrichstadt-Palast is on Friedrichstraße in Mitte, and Cirque du Soleil ALIZÉ plays at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz. Three shows take turns at the Stage Theater des Westens near Zoo station: Wir sind am Leben, Salon Rosie on Fridays and Sundays, and Christmas with Bibi & Tina until 3 January 2027. Cabaret plays at the Tipi am Kanzleramt in summer 2027, and Die Bettwurst in the mirror tent of the Bar jeder Vernunft in Wilmersdorf. Apart from the Friedrichstadt-Palast and ALIZÉ, all shows are performed in German.

To Friedrichstraße

For the Friedrichstadt-Palast, take the U6 to Oranienburger Tor. From Friedrichstraße and Oranienburger Straße S-Bahn stations it is about a five-minute walk. Trams M1 and 12 stop at Oranienburger Tor, bus 147 at Reinhardtstraße. The Palast has no car park of its own.

To Potsdamer Platz

For the Theater am Potsdamer Platz, take the U2 to Potsdamer Platz or Mendelssohn-Bartholdy-Park, or the S1, S2 or S25 to Potsdamer Platz. Buses 200, 347, M48 and M85 stop at Varian-Fry-Straße. By car, park in the underground car parks at Potsdamer Platz.

To Zoo station

For the Stage Theater des Westens, take the U2 or U9, or the S5, S7 or S75, to Zoologischer Garten; the theatre is a few steps away. There are paid car parks at the Neues Kranzler Eck and at the Zoo.

To the Tipi and the Bar jeder Vernunft

The Tipi am Kanzleramt is between the Federal Chancellery and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Take bus 100 to Platz der Republik or the U5 to Bundestag. The Bar jeder Vernunft is on Schaperstraße behind the Universität der Künste; take the U3 or U9 to Spichernstraße. Both venues have very little parking.

Doors and bags

At the Friedrichstadt-Palast, the Theater am Potsdamer Platz and Wir sind am Leben, doors open one hour before the start; at the Tipi and the Bar jeder Vernunft, one and a half hours before. At the Theater des Westens all bags are checked, so it is best to leave large bags, suitcases and backpacks at home. The Theater am Potsdamer Platz allows bags up to A4 size. At the Tipi and the Bar jeder Vernunft you must use the cloakroom; at the Friedrichstadt-Palast it is free. For the Friedrichstadt-Palast, Salon Rosie and Bibi & Tina the voucher arrives by email; bring valid photo ID. For Cabaret and Die Bettwurst you exchange the voucher at the box office.

With children

ALIZÉ and Christmas with Bibi & Tina are recommended from age 3; for ALIZÉ every child needs their own seat. The Friedrichstadt-Palast recommends its Grand Show from age 8 and admits children aged 6 and over. Salon Rosie is recommended from 8 and Wir sind am Leben from 12; both admit children aged 3 and over. Cabaret admits guests aged 12 and over, Die Bettwurst guests aged 14 and over.

Buying direct

All venues also sell their own tickets. The Friedrichstadt-Palast, the Tipi am Kanzleramt and the Bar jeder Vernunft have their own web shops and box offices. For the musicals at the Theater des Westens, Stage Entertainment runs the official advance sale, and for ALIZÉ the show's promoter does.
