Salon ROSIE – The Musical

Master hairdresser Rosi Fröhlich is facing the end of her beloved salon: it must close. Her life’s work is crumbling. And then her twin sister Gabi (Kathi Damerow) unexpectedly walks into the salon—once a celebrated GDR pop star, now almost forgotten.

Amid jealousy, wounded pride, and old scores, sparks fly—and it’s hilarious.

Two sisters.

Two lives.

Two truths.

And a lifelong question: “Why am I not like you?”

With the greatest hits and brand-new songs by Peter Plate and Ulf Leo Sommer, they work their way through each other—and through their shared life—singing, arguing, and laughing. An intense, touching, and surprisingly entertaining evening.

SALON ROSIE is the prequel to “Wir sind am Leben”—the Berlin musical that has already sold 100,000 tickets.

Performances are held every Friday at the Theater des Westens.

And for everyone who wants to treat themselves to a special day:

the SALON ROSIE matinee on Sundays—followed by “Wir sind am Leben”—both performances featuring the wonderful Steffi Irmen.

• Book & Direction: Franziska Kuropka and Lukas Nimscheck.
