Friedrichstadt Palast

The trademark show at Friedrichstadt Palast is Yma, a huge production of dance and music that rivals anything that Las Vegas can offer. It involves more than 100 performers, and requires no knowledge of German - although the venue does suggest that visitors should be over 14 years old to see it. It is cabaret in the grandest style possible, with glorious backdrops, sparkling costumes and dancers who are not afraid to flaunt what they've got in the name of their art. There are other shows too - including spectacles suitable for children - and all are performed on a dynamic stage that helps push each production beyond the boundaries of expectations.
