Print Friendly, PDF & Email

On January 14, 2025, Vienna's Museumsquartier will be the setting for a dazzling journey back in time to the vibrant 1920s: the award-winning revue Berlin Berlin will celebrate its Vienna premiere. This lavishly staged show, which has already enjoyed great success in Germany, takes the audience to the Berlin of the "Golden Twenties", a time of cultural awakening and social change. With a 30-person ensemble, lavish costumes and the most unforgettable hits of the era, Berlin Berlin promises an intoxicating spectacle full of joie de vivre, glamour and pleasure.

The show will run from January 14 to 26, 2025 in Hall E of the Museumsquartier, and the premiere on January 15 is eagerly awaited. A central role is played by Linz musical actor Simon Stockinger, who already caused a stir in Berlin with his portrayal of the charismatic master of ceremonies "Admiral". With his stage presence and vocal talent, he brings 1920s Berlin to the stage in a gripping way.

A tribute to the dazzling Berlin of the 1920s

The 1920s were a time of profound upheaval, and Berlin was at the centre of this cultural and social revolution. After the horrors of the First World War, the city experienced an explosion of creativity and joie de vivre, expressed in art, music, fashion and dance. The Revue Berlin Berlin brings back this incomparable attitude to life, which was characterised by freedom, radical change and a fascination with the new.

The 1920s in Berlin were also an era of tension, reflecting political upheaval and social contradictions. This period saw the birth of unforgettable personalities such as the actress Marlene Dietrich, the singing group Comedian Harmonists and the dancer Josephine Baker, who are brought to life in the show. The production takes the audience into Berlin's vibrant club scene, where modern rhythms such as Charleston, tango and swing dominated the dance floors.

A musical spectacle of the highest class

The heart of the revue is undoubtedly the music. Berlin Berlin combines a variety of German and international classics that perfectly capture the spirit of the 1920s. The audience can look forward to hits such as "My Little Green Cactus" by the Comedian Harmonists, "Puttin' on the Ritz", "I'm Set Up for Love from Head to Toe" by Marlene Dietrich and many other unforgettable tunes. These musical classics, which formed the soundtrack of an entire era, are reinterpreted in the show and guarantee that the audience will not only tap their feet, but will also most likely sing along.

Gary Hickeson, a renowned musical supervisor, is responsible for the musical direction of the show. Under his leadership, the pieces of the show are arranged in such a way that they both preserve the essence of the 1920s and meet modern sound standards. The perfect mix of nostalgia and contemporary staging makes Berlin Berlin a unique experience for young and old.

Simon Stockinger: The charismatic emcee

A special highlight of the revue is the performance by Simon Stockinger, a talented musical actor from Linz. As a graduate of the Music and Arts University of Vienna, Stockinger has made a name for himself through his roles in productions such as The Rocky Horror Show, Footloose and Hair. In Berlin, he takes on the role of the master of ceremonies "Admiral", who leads the audience through the evening with charm, humor and dazzling anecdotes. His stage presence and acting talent give the show a special depth and make him one of the defining faces of this revue.

Stockinger succeeds in an impressive way in transporting the audience into the wicked yet fascinating world of Berlin's cabarets and clubs. With his mixture of singing, acting and interaction with the audience, he creates a dense atmosphere that authentically reflects the spirit of the 1920s. He has already played this role in Berlin in 2021 and 2022, and now he is bringing it to life again for the Viennese audience.

An ensemble full of brilliance and talent

In addition to Simon Stockinger, Berlin Berlin impresses with a top-class ensemble consisting of 30 talented artists. The show combines spectacular choreography, glamorous costumes and a production that immerses the audience in the world of Berlin nightclubs and variety shows of the 1920s. Under the direction of Christoph Biermeier, the show has been continuously developed to make the club atmosphere of the Berlin scene even more authentic and tangible.

The visual design of the revue also deserves special mention: the opulent stage sets and costumes reflect the splendor and glamour of the time, while the lighting highlights the intense contrasts between the dazzling highlights and the darker sides of this era. Berlin Berlin is thus not only a musical but also a visual homage to an unforgettable time.

A Journey into the Roaring Twenties

The Revue Berlin Berlin promises to be one of the cultural highlights of the Viennese winter. From January 14 to 26, 2025, the Museumsquartier will be the stage for a fascinating journey back in time to the golden 1920s. The mixture of gripping music, rousing dances and the charismatic performance of Simon Stockinger as master of ceremonies makes Berlin Berlin a must for everyone who is enthusiastic about music, history and the dazzling world of the "Roaring Twenties".
