The best, most authentic place in Oslo for live music / jam - but only on Tuesdays. Musicians go…read morethere to enjoy music and to sing or play if they feel like it. And if you are a musician, you are welcome to join in. Informal, great atmosphere and great music (Tuesdays only).

I LOVE going to the theatre! There is just something absolutely lovely about it, and Folketeateret,…read morealthough not the most modern of venues, is a great spot to do so. Last time I came here was in October, and I saw Singing in the Rain (absolutely fantastic by the way). We saw a 7pm show on a Thursday and did not experience any of the complaints I see my fellow yelpers having (standing in line to get in ect). I was actually happy to see that they had a mandatory coat check, although I felt it was unnecessary to charge us 30NOK per jacket. If it is mandatory it should be free, at least that is my opinion. Either way, the price was not to bad, it was just annoying to pay. Other than that "checking in" was no problem if you show up 30minutes prior to the show as your ticket calls for. Once inside there is a few bars where you can get snacks and drinks. Personally I did not find the prices to appalling. 480NOK for a bottle of bubbles is just as much as any other bar in town. What pleasantly surprised me was that we could bring our wine and snacks into the theatre, and we even got a cure little icebag for our wine. It is safe to say I had an excellent time drinking, eating popcorn and watching a fun musical! Also during the Singing in the Rain show (not sure if all shows allow this) we were able to take pictures. There was even a little instagram competition going on. Love - love - love that they keep it young and let people take pictures. I was just so mesmerized by the show that I completely forgot to take out my phone, but it honestly did't even bother me that other people had their phone out, at first I thought it would, but it really didn't. Great theatre down town Oslo!
