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

New musicals in Hamburg

From fall 2024, & JULIA - The Musical will be coming to the city on the Elbe. You can also look forward to the German premiere of MJ - The Michael Jackson Musical in December 2024, with background stories from the 1992 "Dangerous" world tour. At the Stage Operettenhaus, TANZ DER VAMPIRE - The Musical will thrill you with its eerily beautiful performance, impressive costumes and rocking songs. Since spring 2024, Disney's HERCULES has been celebrating its world premiere for the first time in Hamburg at the Stage Theater Neue Flora.

Discover the musical metropolis of Hamburg

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, such as Disney's HERCULES, HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD and ROCKY, which was the first production created in Germany to be exported to Broadway and went on to win the Tony Award for best stage design.

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.

City trip to Hamburg with a visit to a musical

The combination of a city break and a visit to a musical makes your short trip to Hamburg a very special experience.
