The timeless Christmas classic is back—and more alive than ever.

THREE HAZELNUTS FOR CINDERELLA—THE MUSICAL finally brings the magic of the cult film, complete with its famous original score, live to the stage and can be experienced for the first time in numerous new cities as part of an extended tour. An emotional, thrilling experience for the whole family.

This is what Christmas feels like live

For over 50 years, “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” has been one of the most cherished traditions of the Christmas season. Millions of people associate the film with their fondest memories of winter days. The musical brings this magic to life once again: from sparkling snow-covered landscapes to the magnificent castle and the glittering ball where Cinderella and the Prince find each other in a heartwarming way.

The Music: Cult Classic Meets Musical Magic

The iconic theme song by Karel Svoboda—a true goosebump-inducing moment for generations—forms the musical foundation of the show. It is complemented by fresh, emotional compositions by Thomas Zaufke (The Wonderful Adventures of Nils Holgersson, Grimm!, and winner of the German Musical Theater Award). Together, they create a musical experience that perfectly blends nostalgia with something new and is guaranteed to put the audience in the Christmas spirit.

A Fairy Tale That Touches the Heart

After her father’s death, Cinderella lives with her strict stepmother, who—unlike her sister Dora—makes her work as a maid. Nevertheless, she dreams of freedom and adventure. One day, when her path leads her into the snow-covered forest, she meets the prince—a snowball, a laugh, a glance.

When the prince invites her to the ball, her stepmother refuses to let her go. Thanks to three magical hazelnuts, Cinderella manages to secretly attend the royal ball. During the dance, the prince has eyes only for her, but when the clock strikes midnight, Cinderella loses a shoe on the stairs. A moment that will change her fate forever.
