Budapest’s first “experience theater” is booking a full-throttle season for 2025–2026, mixing touring and local companies with a grab bag of comedy, concerts, family shows, and big-feel musicals. The house operates as a receiving venue, focused on quality and variety — serious and light music events included — and it’s set up as an all-ages escape for the whole family at the RaM Theater.
Dogs – László Hadházi’s Solo Show
November 22, 2025, Saturday, 18:00 and 20:30. A Dumaszínház night hosted by Szabolcs Tóth. Hadházi unpacks a canine avalanche of questions: How many dogs does it take to screw in a light bulb? Why do dogs carry their tails in the back, and who’s really wagging whom? Do dogs hear grass grow? Does even the postman get barked at by his own dog? What Celsius is “dog cold”? Does the dog have an owner or the owner have a dog? Spoiler: you won’t get actual answers. Promise: you won’t feel dog-tired. Tickets are dynamically priced based on demand.
We Got a Man (Bepasiztunk)
November 23, 2025, Sunday, 19:00. Three women, three lives, three characters, three divorces — and one shared stubborn streak: they believe in second chances, they’re open to new love, and they refuse to accept that the classic hero-lover man is an extinct species. So where are the rare specimens hiding? Let the hunt begin. Expect a sweet-and-salty evening stacked with humor, irony, and self-irony — powered by a live, all-male backing band — and hit songs from the ’80s and ’90s: Queen, Europe, Roxette, Sade, Tina Turner, Wham!, Phil Collins, and yes, a Guns N’ Roses track.
The Nutcracker (A Diótörő)
November 25, 2025, Tuesday, 19:00. A-Ballet unwraps a dazzling holiday dream: sugared snowflakes whirl, the Mouse King’s troops lurk, and a brave Nutcracker prince flings open the gates of imagination. This adaptation fuses classical ballet elegance with breathtaking multimedia projections, futuristic sets, and visionary costumes. Driven by Tchaikovsky’s melodies, the choreography locks you in from the first bar to the last glimmer. The artistic concept and choreography come from A-Ballet founders Aliya Tanykpayeva and Dmitry Timofeev. Kinetic projections and a distinctive visual world deliver a fresh, immersive take on an immortal score. Sharing the stage: artists from the Hungarian State Opera and A-Ballet’s young talents.
God’s Money (Isten pénze)
November 30, 2025, Sunday, 14:30. A musical spin on Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol, with book by Péter Müller, music by László Tolcsvay, and lyrics by Péter Müller Sziámi. One of the most-performed Hungarian musicals, it follows Ebenezer Scrooge — aging, rich, emotionally parched, and uncharitable — who’s jolted into a reckoning by his late partner’s ghost. Guided through past Christmas Eves, he rediscovers what mattered before money became the only metric. Memory, present reality, and future shadows testify to who we were, who we are, and who we might become. Spectacle, sentiment, and humor blend for all ages. Cast highlights: Ebenezer Scrooge played by Ferenc Gerdesits or Zsolt Kósa; Marley by András P. Petőcz; Bob Cratchit by Dávid Sándor or Milán Krncan; Young Scrooge by János Ondrik, János Szemenyei, or Lehel Másik; Belle/Washwoman by Ágnes Kuczmann; Dilberné/Martha by Zsófia Enyingi or Ágnes Molnár; plus a full ensemble. Costumes by Zsuzsanna Balai and Anita Másikné Vizeli; visuals by Péter Kollárik; choreography by Gábor Bakó; directed by Csaba Vizeli.
Misi the Squirrel – A Two-Act Family Musical (Misi Mókus)
December 6, 2025, Saturday, 14:00. In the forest, life follows nature’s loop — except today feels different: baby squirrels are born. One of them, Misi, stands out with a black tail. At school, he’s a mischief-maker and a nonconformist, refusing to stash food in summer for winter like everyone else. When he hears from Mrs. Jay that a faraway land has a tree that bears fruit forever, he bolts from home. Cue a wild odyssey: captured and hauled to a pet shop (he escapes), then crossing seas, desert, and jungle, collecting friends and outwitting foes. But who’s truly a friend? Do acquaintances always mean well? Is school useless? Is life better somewhere far away than at home? This new family musical, based on Józsi Jenő Tersánszky’s tale and adapted for the stage by Károly Peller, features music by László Nyitrai (composer of the hit Tanár úr, kérem! — “Please, Sir, the Teacher!”), with lyrics by Dávid Péter Cseh. Expect color, action, and heart for kids and grown-ups alike. Cast includes: Misi played by Dávid Péter Cseh or Ferenc Tarlós; Mrs. Jay by Kata Janza, Mara Kékkovács, or Zsuzsi Vágó; Bumba by Márkó Gábor (Oláh Béla); a multi-role lineup by Dániel Horváth or Károly Peller, Ágota Siménfalvy, Ferenc Tarlós or Gergő Vígh, Dorka Pacskó, Béla Oláh, Bernadett Becz, and Nikita Braga; plus ensemble and Mókuska (Dalma Kósi). Set and costumes by Tímea Széll; music and orchestration by László Nyitrai; lyrics by Dávid Péter Cseh; choreography by Edina Szkáli; directed by Károly Peller. Duration: 2 × 45 minutes.
Old Girls – A Musical Comedy (Öreglányok)
December 14, 2025, Sunday, 15:00 and 19:00. Four women in their seventies — different backgrounds, honest, funny, and still unapologetically, utterly women. In life’s final chapter, they choose hedonism and laughter. They can be blunt, but they float on lightness and humor. Through them, we glimpse a 20th-century history whose marks we still carry. They play like kids on a playground, thumbing their noses at gods, lovers, illnesses, and society’s limits. Life hasn’t always been kind, but every line shouts: Laugh and Live! Starring Enikő Nagy, Andrea Sztarek, Judit Kocsis, and Anna Bede-Fazekas. Written by Csaba Csík; directed by Rita Tallós; set and costumes by Katalin Ziegler and Virág Velkey; lyrics by Csaba Csík; répétiteur Éva Ligeti.
Fat Pig – Comedy in Two Acts (FAT PIG – Kövér disznó)
December 19, 2025, Friday, 19:00. Cast: Helen — Andrea Balázs; Tom — Tibor Pásztor; Carter — Barnabás Réti; Jeannie — Szilvia Lilla Tóth. Translator: Barnabás Réti. Dramaturg: Anna Varsányi. Design: Árpád Iványi. Costumes/Makeup/Hair: Bálint Katona. Props: Zoltán Nyitrai. Lights: Melinda Pálmai. Sound: Bánk Csutorás. Prompter: Gabriella Csizmadia. Assistant Director: Zsófia Tóth. Director: Árpád Iványi. Tom, a rising corporate player, meets Helen — sharp-tongued, fiercely funny, and plus-size, defiantly outside the beauty ideal. Their connection deepens, but workplace jabs about her body seep in, testing Tom’s faith and loyalty. The play skewers a success-obsessed, image-driven culture and asks: Where’s our real happiness versus what we perform for others? How much do we swallow what people say about us? Can we keep faith in ourselves? What does our physical appearance do to our lives? Neil LaBute’s satire probes modern beauty standards and how far we’ll bend to be accepted.
