In theater Wechselbad in Dresden, there are various rooms that make up the possibility for various events. From cabaret to theater in lavish hall, everything is possible. We even saw there once an event that normally runs in Hamburg. "Heiße Ecke" (Hot Corner) - the St. Pauli Musical (Schmidts Theater/Schmidts Tivoli). In Hamburg they played it for ten years and during that time were counted in over 1500 shows one million viewers. The piece is the most successful German musical theater production.
