Bernd is correct, the tickets for the show were heavily overpriced. At least if you
keep in mind that in the last few years dozens of "better known" musicals
opened here in Germany.
A few weeks ago they have reduced the prices. However, the definitely last show
will take place on June 2, followed by a farewell party...
I was at the show last year, and I really enjoyed it. IMO the
storyline is much closer to the original album than Ken Russel's film
ever was.
