What did our critic think of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA at Raimund Theater?

From Hamilton to Hercules, from the Revolution to the Olymp, is quite a journey for Monteiro, more than reason enough to sit down and chat with Hamburg's Musical Leading Man.

Twist and shout because, on February 28th, the so-called Beatles Musical is coming to Vienna for one night only. Learn more about the production here!

What did our critic think of FOOTLOOSE THE MUSICAL at Stadthalle Wien? Remember those days when dancing in Bomont was prohibited, and we watched the young Kevin Bacon as Ren McCormack, giving it all for the sake of dancing and all the unfortunate souls in this prim little town. Of course, there wasn't much dancing in the movie, but it was exhilarating when they burst into it.

What did our critic think of WEST SIDE STORY at Volksoper?

Leonard Bernstein's masterpiece, Candide, is back in Vienna for a strictly limited run. Based on Voltaire's 18th-century novel, Bernstein created a so-called comic operetta, or as some might say, a musical in an old-fashioned way. You may call it whatever you want. At the end of the evening, it is a beautifully crafted piece of art.

There might be no better place for a university for music and arts than in the heart of Vienna, surrounded by historical buildings where the greatest composers of all time have been strolling around. Unsurprisingly, many now-famous musical actors, like the latest newcomer, Moritz Mausser (ROCK ME AMADEUS's Leading Man), were trained at this prestigious institution. Getting the chance to see future graduates perform in front of an audience is something you definitely can't miss. Seeing the (potential) future of Musical Theatre is always worth a visit.

Tanz der Vampire, the Musical based on Roman Polanski's The Fearless Vampire Killers or Pardon Me But your Teeth Are In My

Christmas is just a glimpse away; snow is falling, and people get into the festive mood by singing Christmas carols and enjoying gingerbread and mulled wine. Many are still in a rush to buy gifts for their loved ones.

What did our critic think of TICK,TICK...BOOM! at Volksoper?

December 02, 2023, would be the 100th birthday of the world's greatest opera singer, Maria Callas. What a great reason to bring back Arie Zingers Volkstheater's production from 1997 with Andrea Eckert, recreating her critically acclaimed performance, now at the stage of Wolfgang Ebner's Vindobona for a strictly limited run.

What did our critic think of ROCK ME AMADEUS THE FALCO MUSICAL at RONACHER THEATER?

Earlier this year, the Musical scene lost a Virtuoso, a mastermind in the orchestra pit. Caspar Richter brought love and passion into his work, he became a patron for many artists during his long-lasting career and a friend to many of us.

The Belgian-born Singer/Composer found his second home fifteen years ago in Vienna. He has been part of numerous musical productions and played some leading roles (like Old Deuteronomy in the latest Vienna CATS production). Apart from his OnStage career, Six has written a couple of Musicals (Wenn Rosenblätter fallen, Ein wenig Farbe, Luna, Die Mädchen von Oostende, Namen an der Wand, Weihnachtsengel küsst man nicht, Mord auf Sendung, Finder, Ein Date zu fünft, and Künstler unbekannt) and founded the Theatercouch in Vienna. Rory Six has made himself a name on and offstage in the German-speaking Musical area. Six had a significant impact on the Off-Musical scene in Vienna. His Theatercouch was the #1 adress for highly anticipated Off-productions. It feels like only yesterday when Six presented his first Musical; what a joy and a profoundly and honestly touching experience. Of course, it is time to celebrate his career and birthday.

What did our critic think of ELISABETH IN CONCERT at Schönbrunn Castle? The dramatically touching story about Austria's famous Empress Elisabeth is back for a three-night Open Air Concert in Schönbrunn's grand forecourt.

What did our critic think of NONNSENSE at TSCHAUNER BÜHNE? Let's get Tschaunern, Vienna's most famous impromptu stage, kicked off the 2023 season with Dan Goggin's Musical Comedy, Nonnsense.

What did our critic think of DIRTY DANCING THE ORIGINAL LIVE ON TOUR at WIENER STADTHALLE? 'No one puts baby in a corner.' One of the most iconic movie quotes of all time, embossed by Patrick Swayze as Johnny Castle. The movie became a phenomenon, but it took years to convince Eleanor Bergstein to transfer it into a Live Action experience. Bergstein hesitated, but after all, she decided it was time for audiences to become a part of the story they love.

Visiting a club like the famous U4 Club during the day might be rather unusual, but what was once a second home to Falco, aka Hans Hölzl, is probably the best choice to present the cast of the highly anticipated in-house production of the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien. A historical place, filled with his stories.
