Overview
- The production opens in Munich on September 16 at Komödie im Bayerischen Hof and runs through October 4 to match the Oktoberfest season.
- The story follows Ludwig I of Bavaria and Princess Therese, with dialogue in German, songs in English, and surtitles in both languages.
- Christoph Marti and Tobias Bonn headline an international cast in a staging created by Faltermeyer with writer Philip LaZebnik.
- Tickets are listed at €25 to €63, and the Berlin guest run was about 115 minutes with an intermission.
- Faltermeyer said Munich challenged use of the “Oktoberfest” name, so the show carries a notice that it is independent of the city’s official festival.
