With acclaimed productions by Stage Entertainment such as Disney's THE LION KING and MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical, Hamburg plays in the premier league of musical cities worldwide. St. Pauli musicals such as "Heiße Ecke" complete the diverse range of musicals on offer in the musical metropolis of Hamburg and make every trip to Hamburg an experience.
Hamburg also has plenty of first-class shows to offer. Exclusively in Hamburg: the eighth part of the Harry Potter saga, the magical play HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD, which continues the story of the famous wizard. At the Schmidt Theater, cheeky productions such as Caveman or Oberaffengeil will make you laugh. The varied program is rounded off with changing performances in the Hansa Varieté.
From autumn 2025, Disney's musical TARZAN will return to Hamburg for a year. This marks the next chapter in the success story. It all began in Hamburg in 2008 with the grand European premiere. Since then, over 5 million guests in Germany have seen Disney's musical TARZAN. In March 2026, BACK TO THE FUTURE – The Musical will celebrate its premiere, taking audiences back to the year 1985.
Hamburg's musical scene has global appeal. With four major stage theaters, Hamburg is the German capital of musicals and regularly presents German, European and world premieres.
The undisputed No. 1 is and remains Disney's global success THE LION KING. Simba, Nala and Rafiki have been at home in the Stage Theater im Hafen for more than 20 years and have already transported over 11 million spectators to the African savannah. But many show sensations also play an important role in Hamburg's entertainment scene outside of the big theaters: the "Kiez" highlight "Heiße Ecke" has been providing cheerful laughter and humid evenings at Schmidts TIVOLI since 2003.
