Divadlo Kalich, Prague

The pop musical was the theatrical phenomenon of the nineties in Prague and the trend is still going strong. In 1999, two new theaters designed especially for musicals opened. This one occupies a former evangelical church and its only show is Hamlet, with songs and dialog by a local teen idol, Janek Ledecky, who also takes the title role. He is assisted by a throng of pop stars and big-name actors, so you can be assured that the performance is nothing short of professional.
