Theater am Potsdamer Platz

★ 4.4 (3,529)$$$ · Expensive

Theater am Potsdamer Platz is a modern venue purpose-built to handle large, technically ambitious touring productions, and its booking of Cirque du Soleil's Alizé, including a dress rehearsal reviewers were able to attend, illustrates the scale of shows it can accommodate. Reviewers consistently describe the venue itself as magnificent and beautifully themed, with comfortable seating that supports long, spectacle-heavy performances. A 74 must-see score and 4.4 rating reflect strong satisfaction tied closely to whatever major production happens to be running at the time.

What people say

"An absolutely unforgettable experience at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz! The venue itself is magnificent and beautifully themed, with comfortable seats and a decent food and drinks offering at a reasonable price. But the show — Alizé — is simply breathtaking. Magic, emotion, acrobatics, tenderness, wonder... every single moment left us speechless. One of the most beautiful shows I have ever witnessed in my life. The perfect balance between raw human performance and pure poetry. A heartfelt thank you to all the artists and technicians who make this dream possible night after night. This show is a powerful reminder that human beings are truly capable of creating something extraordinarily beautiful. Do not miss it — just go!"
