The Magic of a Classic Retold
The timeless story of Rapunzel, her magical hair, and the tower far from the world—based on the Brothers Grimm—is retold with new, surprising twists and brought to life musically by a rousing soundtrack from the award-winning writing duo Marc Schubring (“Emil and the Detectives” and “Dangerous Liaisons”) and Kevin Schroeder (“Fack Ju Göhte,” German translator of “Hercules” and “Hamilton,” among others).
A Creative Dream Team
The spectacular production by renowned director and co-writer Christoph Drewitz (“Ku’Damm 56”) transports audiences to an enchanting world brought to life through breathtaking sets, colorful costumes, and imaginative hairstyles. This thrilling stage adventure about freedom, love, and self-determination combines music, humor, and heart—and appeals to audiences of all ages.
Welcome to Belle Hair!
The glittering metropolis where hair is not just a hairstyle, but an expression of personality and power. “Rapunzel, let down your hair”—this phrase describes Rapunzel’s everyday life in the distant fairy-tale world of Belle Hair. Rapunzel has always been known for her shiny, perfect hair, making her the pride and joy of her ambitious mother. But behind the glamour lies a young woman who wants more than just to be beautiful—and so she flees her homeland to escape a major beauty pageant.
Was her mother right when she warned her about the dangerous world? Are all people superficial and evil—or is there someone special out there? Or will Rapunzel find her own path?
