BlueMax Theater, IMAX theatre in Berlin-Mitte, Germany
BlueMax Theater is a performance venue in Berlin-Mitte that presents live shows and IMAX film screenings on the same stage. The facility combines advanced projection and sound systems with seating designed to support both presentation types.
The venue opened on 1 February 2007 as the Berlin home of the Blue Man Group, created by rebuilding the IMAX cinema at Potsdamer Platz that Renzo Piano had designed and that opened in 1998. The stage, seating and lighting were reworked for the group's show. The Blue Man Group gave its final performance there on 31 August 2025 at 3 pm, after 21 years without a break, and conversion work for a successor show began the same day.
The Blue Man Group performed here without interruption from the opening on 1 February 2007 until their final show on 31 August 2025 at 3 pm. The troupe's stage show repeatedly drew the audience into the action, which shaped the hall's layout and lighting. The building is run by Stage Entertainment Germany.
The venue sits conveniently near several bus stops and train stations that are walking distance away. It is worth checking in advance whether wheelchair-accessible entrances and parking spaces are available for your visit.
The former IMAX cinema was designed by architect Renzo Piano and opened in 1998; its conversion into the BlueMax Theater kept the domed projection screen from that earlier use, which visitors can still spot inside the building.
