Culture - Theater Magdeburg: Open-air musical breaks records
The Theater Magdeburg ended its season with a completely sold-out Domplatz-Open-Air production of "Love never dies", the sequel to "The Phantom of the Opera" by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The 18 performances of "Love never dies" were sold out before the premiere in June, as a theater spokesperson announced. A total of 22,876 spectators would have achieved a 100% occupancy rate with full seating capacity. General Intendant Julien Chavaz spoke of the greatest success in the history of the Domplatz-Open-Air. The Theater Magdeburg was the first city theater to receive the performance rights for the musical.
In the summer of 2025, "The Addams Family" will be shown on the Domplatz. "In the 1930s, comic artist Charles Addams created the peculiar anti-family par excellence for the renowned magazine 'The New Yorker', which loves the macabre", according to the Theater Magdeburg. After several television series and two film adaptations, the Grusel-Family has also arrived on the musical stage. The premiere is planned for June 20, 2025. Currently, 5,620 tickets have been sold for the planned performances of "The Addams Family". That's 24.5% of all available tickets, the Theater Magdeburg announced.
The Theater Magdeburg's ambitious plans extend beyond just operas, as they have secured the performance rights for the musical "The Addams Family" from Andrew Lloyd Webber, known for creating "Phantom of the Opera" and its sequel "Love never dies". Saxony-Anhalt residents can look forward to witnessing "The Addams Family" Musical in the summer of 2025, with the first performance scheduled for June 20th. This musical adaptation of Charles Addams' peculiar anti-family par excellence, which had its beginnings in 'The New Yorker' magazine, will fill a void in the Theater Magdeburg's musical theater lineup, with 5,620 tickets already sold, representing 24.5% of the total available tickets.
