Musical Evening with kind support of the DANV
This year’s gala evening will turn into a “musical evening”: the famous district
theatre “Schmidts Tivoli” opens its gates in the heart of St. Pauli. On stage will
be shown the musical “Heiße Ecke” which advanced from being an insider tip to
an evergreen, and has already delighted 1.7 million viewers. Nine performers will
assume over fifty roles and carry you away to a pacy show about 24 hours at the
district snack stall “Heiße Ecke”. For the whole of St. Pauli meets at its counter:
loose women and tough men, tourists before visiting a musical and garbage collectors after their shift, bachelors from the suburbs and the district’s veterans. It
is a sweeping production which shows the usual madhouse around Reeperbahn
within three hours. An exciting evening at St. Pauli therefore is a safe bet.
19.00
Exclusive admission for our guests (regular admission from 19.30).
Before the show, a tasty snack will be served. Drinks are included and will also
be served during the performance.

Venue: Schmidts TIVOLI,

AdvoParty
As in the traditional German sailor song “Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins…”
(On the Reeperbahn at Half Past Midnight), the end of the evening is not near yet.

Conference. This year, you will be able to dance and celebrate properly to DJ as
well as live music at the popular “Angie’s Nightclub” in the heart of St. Pauli.
Attendance is possible without prior arrangements.
