Wonderful Institution! I haven't been there for too long…read morenow, i last saw "deadly game" which was great. The theater is rather small but cozy and the actors are good to understand. Annoying are only the school classes that have been forced to come by their english teacher and can't keep quiet. Other than that i love the place!

The English Theatre of Hamburg is a great institution for all English speakers in the city…read more Plays (only one at a time) change every quarter and are - most of the time - very good and entertaining. While I really like the comedies played in the English Theatre, "Orphans", which I saw lately, was truly a masterpiece and probably the best one so far. It is a very small and cozy theatre having merely one small stage within a room for approximately 100-150 guests. It is therefore recommended to book and reserve in advance. Card prices are very moderate, ranging around 20€ per person and depending on the seating. Students get a considerable discount. The Theatre sells drinks and snacks at a small bar in the lobby at reasonable prices. For more than two years, I have seen every single play in the English Theatre of Hamburg and will continue to do so. I can recommend it to anyone.

Traditional but somewhat interesting programme. And most remarkable is the Neumeier Ballet…read moreFormation, unavoidable. Booking at least 3 months in advance gives you a chance to get the cheap seats (9 to 20 Eur), really enjoyable.

I went there on the week end to watch the musical EVITA. The…read morelobby is quite spacious and has enough place for all the spectators to stand without being elbowed by one another. They serve wine, beer, pretzels and the lot. The theater itself is rather big. I am not sure how many people fit there, but theres a Parkett and Balconies (loges). I was sitting almost at the top of the parkett area and naturally its built in a slope so everyone was able to see the scene without problems (except for me, who was unlucky to have the tallest man in Hamburg in front of her :( ) Evita was in english and there were subtitles (actually supratitles?) on a big screen hanging on top of the scene. that was quite annoying, people had to twist their necks to be able to read. It was either read or watch the show. you cant multitask, fortunately for me my english is better than my german, so i was able to understand the musical without referring to the sub/supratitles I dont have any complaints. Would gladly be back if there's another interesting show (in english)

The Markthalle is a bit of a Hamburg metal mecca. If a metal band has been to Hamburg, they've…read morealmost certainly played the Markthalle. It's a mid-sized venue, which (I assume) holds a few thousand people. There's no seating, thankfully, but around the stage the standing area is tiered by quite high steps, meaning that even the smallest person will have a good chance of beign able to see the stage. Tip: The beer is reasonably priced (for a concert venue) at EUR3, but you can easily bring that price down by picking up a few cups which all have a EUR1 deposit, which metallers don't seem to care about so much. Without trying to find any cups, or even moving from my spot, I brought the beer price down to EUR2 per beer :)

Great gig venue just near the Hauptbahnhof in the centre of Hamburg. It's usually metal-focused, so…read morereading the posters with the names of all the upcoming acts is amusing to say the least. If Skelton Warfare or diediedie are your cup of team (I just made those names up), then here's your place. We were here to see the Black Rebel Motorcycle club, and even if you are really short, you can still see them, because it's all tiered standing down to the stage. Great sound quality, good service at the bar, and it's a free sauna too!

I honestly…read morethink that the St. Pauli Theater would do it's artists a large favor and invest in a better sound system. While it's not horrible by any means, my boyfriend, who is a trained sound engineer, kept complaining. There are a few petty issues I have with the theater, however. The toilets are located in the performance hall itself - if you'd like to use the toilet during the show, you're ushered off into the neighboring pub. There are poles extending down from the ceiling in the middle of row 6, and if you're stuck behind them, you won't see a blasted thing. Overall, it's a decent theater, but that's where it ends. It attracts some great names at decent prices, though, so if you're looking to see a performance by some of Hamburg's originals, this looks to be the place to go.
