Tips & Advice
- Reserve ahead, because you need a booking for the show with dinner; you can book online, through the ticket hotline or by email.
- Budget for drinks separately, because the ticket covers the four-course menu, the show and the saloon party, but not drinks.
- Choose first-tier seats if a clear view matters to you, because second-tier seats have a restricted view of the stage.
- If you have a food allergy or intolerance, keep in mind that the set four-course menu can't be adapted for every allergy.
- Plan on a late night, because the Western Saloon party keeps going with live music and show acts long after the two-hour show.
Special Events & Promotions
- The show is newly staged for Christmas 2026: "Das Gold der Weihnacht – Ein Rumpelstilzchen-Abenteuer".
- The Sunday shows on December 6 and 20 start earlier than the Friday and Saturday shows.
