Award-winning world successes and cheeky neighbourhood classics make Hamburg a musical city

Discover the musical metropolis of Hamburg

Hamburg's musical scene shines all over the world. With no less than four large Stage Theatres, Hamburg is the German capital of musicals and regularly presents German and European premieres. CATS, KINKY BOOTS and the Udo Lindenberg musical HINTERM HORIZONT are just a few examples. But it also works the other way around: in 2014, ROCKY, a production created in Germany, was exported to Broadway for the first time and subsequently won the Tony Award for Best Stage Design.

The undisputed No. 1 is and remains Disney's global success THE KING OF THE LIONS. Simba, Nala and Rafiki have been at home at the Stage Theater im Hafen for more than 20 years and have already transported more than 11 million spectators to the savannah of Africa. But even away from the big theatres, many show sensations play an important role in Hamburg's entertainment scene: the neighbourhood highlight Heiße Ecke has been providing merry laughter and humid evenings at Schmidts TIVOLI since 2003.

New musicals in Hamburg in 2023

In November 2023, TANZ DER VAMPIRE - Das Musical comes to the city on the Elbe. The eerily beautiful performance thrills with impressive costumes and rocking songs. TANZ DER VAMPIRE replaces HAMILTON at the Stage Operettenhaus.
