The English Theatre Frankfurt

The English Theatre offers a big variety of shows. I watched musicals and plays here during the last years. The shows were always very good and exciting. The bar is very nice too. They usually offer special cocktails according to the show they are playing. The staff is always helpful and nice.

Das Englisch Theatre in Frankfurt bezeichnet sich als das "Größe englischsprachige Theater auf dem Kontinent". Das kann ich weder bestätigen noch widerlegen. Das Einzige, was ich sagen kann ist, das dieses einzigartige Theater den hohen kulturellen Standard von Frankfurt weiter erhöht. Der sehr gemütliche Theatersaal mit rund 250 Plätzen befindet sich im Keller eines kleineren Wolkenkratzers (Gallieleo), ganz in der Nähe der Frankfurter Oper im Bahnhofsviertel. Das Theater bietet normalerweise fünf oder sechs verschiedene Schauspiele, Komödien oder Musicals in jeder Spielzeit. Für 19 bis 42 Euro kann man hier erstklassige Künstler und eine exquisite Programmwahl genießen. Der Preis ist mehr als gerechtfertigt!

An English language version is available as well - just check "German" ;-)

This theatre is amazing! The atmosphere is great, the stage is great, the actors are great. It just all works really well together. It is such a cozy place and you feel really welcome. When the play is over you can go into James the bar which is conveniently located right inside the theatre, if your lucky all the actors will go for a drink there as the same time as you do, and the you can admire them some more from a little bit closer ;)

we went to the Cabaret performed at the English Theather in February 2019. There is no plot! it got unreasonably extended that obviously got boring. I could not feel any excitement or any good vibes from teh show, unfortunately. A few people left the show after 35 minutes since it started. Maybe, they have other good plays with nice plot and performance (hopefully!!!). However, I would not recommend Anybody to visit this play, it is just a waste of time, energy and money.

The productions at the English Theatre are slick, fairly varied and well produced. My only reservation as a regular theatre goer is that there seems to be a house policy to push characterisation to such an extent that performances become hammy. I wish to be quick to add that this has not prevented my great enjoyment at having a theatre in town which I am able to visit regularly for a fix of theatre in my native tongue, but I think perhaps the theatre is underestimating its audiences in playing with less subtlety. Unless I am much mistaken, the audience seem to be close to fluent in English quite often and could easily cope with a less pronounced stylistic choice. Having seen 4 productions here now, I can only assume the choice has been made to encourage slight over-acting for the sake of clarity, which I wish was not the case.

The English Theatre to put it bluntly: I simply love it and would recommend it to everyone staying in Frankfurt, no matter if just for a short time or for the rest of your live. They have a very diversified program. Until now Ive been always absolutely delighted by the plays, in particular by The Full Monty and Spring Awakening. Great actors, enjoyable stagings. The cozy furnishing of course contributes to the most pleasant atmosphere. And, last but not least, theres an excellent service concerning the associated restaurant in which you can order your drinks and very good food prior to the show. Youll then find your table already set when you enter the room during the break no need to queue up. And on top they have a very good value-for-money ratio. So then, give it a try! :)

Wonderful newly renovated theatre with a great atmosphere. I can highly recommend the place. The repertoire is excellent with lots of classic and fun loving plays. The actors are very professional and it is always a pleasure seeing a show there. I am a frequent visitor.
