Can I bring a younger sibling?

The theater sets 4 as the minimum age for every show and asks families to arrange care for younger siblings and babies.

Are the Wednesday daytime shows open to families?

Yes. The 10am and 1pm shows on Nov 18 fall on Buß- und Bettag, a school holiday in Bavaria, and are on public sale. The theater's school performances are booked separately and don't appear on its public schedule.

Is there a discount with the Münchner Familienpass?

Holders of the München-Pass, Münchner Familienpass or Ferienpass get €1.50 off each ticket. Discounted tickets are sold only at the box office (089 59 54 54), and discounts don't combine.

Can we celebrate a birthday there?

Yes. The birthday table costs €7 per guest for a slice of cake and a drink during the intermission, on top of tickets. Book it by phone with the box office at 089 59 54 54.

What you need to know

Strollers stay outside: the cloakroom is small, so strollers, big bags and backpacks can't come into the theater
A 20-minute break halfway, with a buffet selling drinks and small sweets; your own soft drinks are fine, food isn't
Skip row 1 with small kids: the stage is raised, so the front row (the cheapest seats) means craning upward

About

A stage version of Sven Nordqvist's Pettersson and Findus Christmas story, played in German by a full cast in hen, cat and fox costumes. Findus crashes his sled into Pettersson while hunting for a tree, and the old man's sprained foot is only the start: a lost wish list, a homemade tree that looks like a wilted cactus, and Snorre the fox stealing the best laying hen.
