Bluemax, Blue Man Group
Charismatic figures of the night, menacing flashing teeth, and blood - in December 2006, Roman Polanski’s musical “Dance of the Vampires” cele-brated its premiere in the Theater des Westens. The musical, which is a parody of the vampire genre, tells the story of vampire hunter Professor Abronsius and his young assistant Alfred, who meet the vampire Count von Krolock in a village in Transylvania. Rocky, sentimental ballads by Jim Steinman, furious dance scenes and – last but not least – the snappy text from Michael Kunze make the musical a scary and incredible delight. A complete contrast to this is the Disney musical “Beauty and the Beast”, which can be seen from March 2007 in the Musical Theater on Potsdamer Platz. This is the romantic love story of the beautiful Belle and a prince who was turned into an ugly beast by a witch. Only the love of another person can save him.
Worldwide, over 25 million people have seen the musical. Now Berliners can also enjoy the sensational scenery, fantastic costumes and enchanting music. The “Blue Man Group”, which has been appearing at the Theater am Potsdamer Platz since 2004, is moving on February 1, 2007. The former IMAX theater directly opposite their former venue has been converted especially for the blue men to the new BLUEMAX venue with 600 seats.
