For the first time since I live in Vienna, I got the chance to go to the Volkstheater watch a play…read moreabout the Comedian Harmonists. It was amazing. A beautiful location, great artists, great story line and great singers. A great and entertaining evening! Can't wait to be back...

First night in Vienna, wanted to kick back, relax and have a nice evening out and take in a stage…read moreshow in a classically beautiful theatre. "On the Ground Floor and First Floor" by Johann Nestroy was playing at the Volkstheater. Although it was completely in German (a language I do not speak), the play was wonderfully costumed, acted with fantastic music. The Volkstheater is perhaps the most beautiful theater I've ever been in. The old playhouse layout, the side loges and adorned balconies are reminiscent of my idea of a "Mozart-era" venue (although it was only constructed in the late 1800's). In the winter, they do have the heat cranked up pretty high (as is the case in most places in Austria/Germany in the winter), so expect to take advantage of the free (and mandatory) coat check.

They were incredibly rude and refused to let us move from the back of the theater to the middle…read moreeven though the show was more than half empty and all tickets cost the same price. As a result our child could not see anything. And we spent $25 on a cab ride to get there. Sad.

I have to admit I've passed this theatre plenty of times but never really paid any attention to it. It was seeing the poster for this play on Facebook (ah yes, Facebook...) that finally peeked my interest. Creativity in design work always gets me hooked (the curse of once being a graphic designer I guess). I found it clever, funny and the title - well, for anyone loving Hitchcock you just can't help but wonder what it's all about. The play, after my initial first reaction of "what have I gotten myself into?!" was brilliant! A 4-(wo)man assemble with a plot that's not only witty and disturbing in a way, but also creative given the limited space they had to deal with. They incorporated video that gave the whole play more dimension and you really had the feeling of traveling with them in time and space. The main character, the woman plotting, if you will, was definitely my favorite. The ending, so unexpected you couldn't help but cheer! It's not playing that much longer so please make sure you go see it and support these wonderful actors.
