For 20 years, the Hamburg musical "Heiße Ecke" has been thrilling its audience at Schmidts Tivoli on the famous Reeperbahn. With over 5,000 performances and 2.8 million spectators, it is the most successful German-language musical theatre piece of all time. That has to be celebrated!

Heiße Ecke" is a fast-paced show that illuminates life around a neighbourhood snack bar on St. Pauli and has captured the hearts of the audience with its songs and characters. Every evening, nine actors and actresses slip into over 50 roles and take the audience into the colourful life of this queer district. From pimps to prostitutes to bachelorettes and bachelors from Pinneberg - all of St. Pauli meets here. The show does not mince words and shows the Hamburg actors with all their peculiarities and quirks. The honest stories and crude sayings have been delighting audiences for two decades and are the secret recipe for the musical's continuing success. By the way, the "Heiße Ecke" really existed - a legendary snack bar on the corner of the Reeperbahn and Hein-Hoyer-Straße.

The "Heiße Ecke" is more than just an entertaining show. The loose sayings, the dry humour and the open, tolerant neighbourhood atmosphere convey a sense of community and togetherness. Everyone can find themselves in the performers to some extent and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Hamburg musical. It is a place where everyone can be who they are, and the audience celebrates this with standing ovations and enthusiasm from the very beginning.
