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.
  • Later in the evening, the Western Saloon party is also open to guests without a dinner-show ticket.
