Charles Dickens’ classic comes to Berlin as a fairytale musical – with new, emotional music (including by Michael Schanze and Christian Berg) and lots of goosebump potential for young and old. The transformation of the grumpy Ebenezer Scrooge is told in a warm-hearted, visually rich stage fairy tale – perfect for the Advent season. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is playing at the Bluemax Theater at Marlene-Dietrich-Platz 4 – directly at Potsdamer Platz. The Berlin season runs until December 28, 2025 with numerous dates and tickets from \u20ac39.90. Family-friendly times included. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The production focuses on big emotions instead of kitsch: opulent images, catchy songs, a loving ensemble – and of course the three ghosts of Christmas who send Scrooge on his journey through time. The musical legend Uwe Kr\u00f6ger<\/strong> with his goosebump voice is on stage as Ebenezer Scrooge. In other roles, Tim Al-Windawe<\/strong> (Bob Cratchit), Robert Schmelcher<\/strong> (Jacob Marley) and Nadine K\u00fchn<\/strong> (First Ghost) impress. The result is a heart-warming winter experience that elegantly combines nostalgia, humor and message – ideal as a prelude to the festive season. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n For families, couple evenings and Friendsgiving groups alike. The story is well-known, the music is new – so the evening works just as well for musical novices as for fans who want to see Dickens in a fresh guise. The organizers and the city expressly recommend the play as family-friendly. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The musical has been running at Potsdamer Platz since the beginning of November 2025 – and the echo is predominantly warm: the Christmas atmosphere, strong vocals and sound, harmonious sets and the good view even further back in the Bluemax are praised. Families emphasize the child-friendly afternoon times and the “anticipation” factor. Individual voices find the ticket prices “not quite cheap” depending on the seat – overall, the rating is around 4.2\/5 stars (Eventim, ~359 reviews). Bottom line: an emotional Advent evening with great picture book charm. <\/p>\n Potsdamer Platz is one of the best-connected places in the city (S-\/U-Bahn, buses). Before the show, take a detour to the Christmas market at Potsdamer Platz or a short walk to the Sony Center; after the show, you are minutes away from bars and restaurants all around. The Bluemax Theater is right in the middle – a short walk from the platform, into the foyer, curtain up. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n If you’re still looking for charming accommodations, then we at little BIG hotels<\/b> have just the thing for you.
