RevuePalast Ruhr, Drag theatre in Herten, Germany

RevuePalast Ruhr is a travesty theatre housed in the listed heating centre of the Ewald coal mine, which closed in 2001. Its large hall seats 290, and a separate "Untertagebar" holds 90. The venue opened in October 2009 with the show "Voilà", staged by principal Christian Stratmann.

The heating plant of the Zeche Ewald coal mine, shut down in 2001, was converted into a theatre and opened in October 2009 with the revue "Voilà". The venue was founded by theatre entrepreneur Christian Stratmann, brother of cabaret artist Ludger Stratmann, who had run Stratmanns Theater Europahaus in Essen with him until the end of 2003. On 4 December 2024 its director Marvin Boettcher announced that the lease expiring on 31 January 2025 would not be renewed and operations would cease.

The programme consisted of travesty revues such as "Voilà", "Magic Moments", "Viva Las Vegas" and the "Galanacht der Travestie". Once a month the show "Ganze Kerle" was aimed exclusively at a female audience. As a guest venue it occasionally hosted artists close to principal Christian Stratmann, among them singer Marc Marshall, TV hypnotist Pharo and jazz musician Wolf Codera.

The venue is compactly organized with an UnderTageBar area where guests can gather before or after performances. Visitors should arrive early, as the theater has limited seating capacity and popular shows can fill up quickly.

The theatre's industrial setting made it a broadcast venue: from 2013 to 2021, ARD's Sportschau Club, hosted by Alexander Bommes, went out live from the Untertagebar after major football matches. In March 2012 WDR recorded its talk show Fernsehabend in the main hall with guests including Oliver Kalkofe and Ingolf Lück.
