Musical "Beauty and the Beast" from Fall 2026 at the Vienna Raimund Theater

"The Phantom of the Opera" will only roam the halls of the Vienna Raimund Theater for a few more months. The Webber musical ends on June 28, 2026, and will be replaced by another global success: Alan Menken's duo "Beauty and the Beast" will take over the reins in the house from September 25 - announced by the Vereinigte Bühnen Wien as "the most enchanting musical of all time."

Following the "Phantom" in Vienna is "Beauty and the Beast"

This brings the piece based on the Disney film of the same name back to the Raimund Theater after 30 years, as the European premiere was celebrated here in 1995 - the older ones will remember. More than 35 million people worldwide have seen the piece to date. In Vienna, the piece with music by "Sister Act" composer Menken will be experienced in 2026 in the new production by US director Matt West.

Ticket sales already started

Ticket sales started on Wednesday. However, the VBW will only announce shortly before summer who will portray Beauty and her horned lover.
