We will be in Berlin for a week in July and the musical Chicago will be playing. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this venue.

Looks fabulous. It is a historic Berlin theater with 1700 seats that survived WWII. Refurbished after reunification. By Friedrichstrasse Bahnhof.
BTW, West Side Story is at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden the same week.

Hi,
A couple of years ago the play, "Der Hauptmann von Köpenick" by C. Zuckmayer was done in new venue, like a musical with that dialect too at the Admiralspalast. I truly missed something pertaining to that performance.
I've never attended a performance there, only have been by. it The advertisements for this play could be seen in numerous places on coming events in Berlin.
See "Chicago" at the Admiralspslast.

Admiralspalast is a real nice venue. Seats are a little narrow but the people in earlier times were smaller :-)
Saw Simple Minds concert there - did not like the concert but the venue. Few years later they played a brilliant best-of concet in another place of Berlin.
