Glittering 20s revue

Glittering, glamorous and glamorous, Berlin Berlin returns to the Deutsches Theater. Five years after its huge success in 2020, the stylish revue takes us back to the bubbling cosmos of the Roaring Twenties and shows what drove the capital of vice into ecstasy then and now.

FROM THE COMEDIAN HARMONISTS TO MARLENE DIETRICH

Welcome to Berlin in the 20s! Here you can breathe freedom, life and lust! Step inside and become part of this restless world. Sequined dresses glitter in the evening light, hot melodies drive you to ever more licentious dances and all boundaries blur in the sinful thicket of the night. Big stars such as the style icon Marlene Dietrich, the legendary entertainers of the Comedian Harmonists and the scandalous dancer Josephine Baker invite you to dance on the volcano. The real Josephine Baker should have performed at the Deutsches Theater back in 1929 – but her appearance was banned because the Munich authorities feared it would offend public decency. Her resurrection on this stage in Berlin now makes up for this omission.

THIS NIGHT IS WORTH A SIN

Berlin Berlin throws itself into the wild maelstrom of a dizzying time. True to the motto “There’s nothing like a little scandal!”, a charismatic emcee and the 30-strong ensemble tell the story of a greedy dance on a knife-edge between the global economic crisis and unbridled lust for pleasure. Sparks fly when the chorus girls swing their endlessly long legs to Charleston and Lindy Hop and hit numbers such as Puttin’ on the Ritz, Ich bin von Kopf bis Fuß auf Liebe eingestellt, Mackie Messer and Bei mir bist du schön get the whole hall vibrating. Come along on a seductive, sparkling journey through time and experience the sparkling lifestyle of the Roaring Twenties!
