- A short walk from U2 Messe-Prater; U1 and S-Bahn Praterstern are about 800 metres awayGetting there
The Mirage seats this show as standard tables, six-seat stage boxes beside the stage, and a small number of VIP tables, and it assigns every seat to a category rather than offering free seating. Wednesday is the only night this particular show runs.
The tableaux
Burlesque Ohlala runs as a sequence of numbers between courses rather than one continuous show. Here is the shape of a Wednesday night, as the venue itself bills it.
- I. Arrival at the mirror tent Doors open at 6:30pm. Arrive before 7pm to be shown to your table, stage box or VIP table, and order the first drinks before the room dims.
- II. The ringmaster opens the night Host Russell Brunner welcomes the room, sets the tone and introduces the first act, in the compère role the venue bills him for across its Cirque Rouge shows.
- III. First course, first act Dinner service begins as the Cirquettes' opening choreography takes the floor — the first of several burlesque numbers threaded between courses rather than saved for one finale.
- IV. A solo turn Kalinka Kalaschnikow's cabaret spot lands mid-evening on the venue's own bill; the exact routine is billed to change from night to night.
- V. Live jazz between courses The Randy Dandies play live jazz and swing through the gaps between acts, keeping the room moving as later courses are served.
- VI. The last number The night closes with a full-company number before tables are cleared and the tent empties out into the Prater.
The dress code is casual chic and there is no strict age limit — children are admitted from age five with an adult, though the hour and the material suit an adult crowd best.
A one-night-a-week show
Burlesque Ohlala plays the Mirage on Wednesdays only, a separate booking from the venue's Friday show. Cirque Rouge bills it as classic burlesque and French cabaret staged with live music, in the style of the Moulin Rouge era.
A mirror tent, not a theatre
The Mirage is a Spiegeltent, a traditional mirrored and wood-panelled tent, set up in Vienna's Prater rather than in a conventional venue. Red velvet, wood panelling and chandeliers line a room built to feel close to the stage from almost every seat.
Dinner arrives in four courses
The evening is built around a four-course dinner served at your table while the acts run, rather than a show with a meal squeezed in before it. Dietary requests can be flagged when you book.
A cast the venue names
The Mirage's own site credits a resident cast across its Cirque Rouge shows: ringmaster Russell Brunner as host, the Cirquettes on choreography, Kalinka Kalaschnikow with a solo cabaret spot, and the Randy Dandies playing live jazz and swing.

The Mirage, and the dinner
The show is staged inside the Mirage, a mirror tent in Vienna's Prater rather than a conventional theatre — worth knowing before you plan how you get there.
Where it is
The Mirage stands at Prater 75, next to Freudplatz 1, in Vienna's 2nd district. It sits inside the Prater park itself, not among the fairground rides at the Wurstelprater end.
Getting there without a car
The U2 stops at Messe-Prater, an easy walk from the tent. U1 and the S-Bahn both stop at Praterstern, roughly 800 metres away.
If you are driving
Campus Prater, on Welthandelsplatz, charges an evening rate from 5pm to midnight; there is also a Prater car park on Nordportalstraße. Coaches have their own parking at Prater 9, useful for larger group bookings.
The dinner itself
A four-course dinner is served at your table across the evening. Vegan, gluten-free and allergy requests can be noted when you book, or emailed to the venue directly ahead of your date.
Choosing your seat
| Seating | What it includes | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Standard table | A seat at a shared table with a clear view of the stage, plus the four-course dinner | Couples and small groups who want a straightforward night out |
| Stage box | An elevated box beside the stage, seating up to six together | Groups of friends who want to sit as one party close to the acts |
| VIP table | A private table for your own group, including a chilled bottle of sparkling wine | A celebration, or a couple who would rather not share a table |
| Booking as a group | Shared or private tables for larger parties, with coach parking available at the Prater | Birthdays, hen and stag nights and bigger work groups, as the venue allows |
Dress, age limit and getting there
Dress: casual chic
The Mirage's own guidance is casual chic — smart enough for a night out, without a strict formal dress code to plan around.
No 18+ rule, but an adult evening
There is no strict age minimum: children are admitted from age five with an adult, and under-fours are not. That said, the material, the hour and the room are built for a grown-up night rather than a family outing.
Getting there and parking
U2 Messe-Prater is the closest stop; U1 and the S-Bahn both reach Praterstern, about 800 metres off. Drivers have Campus Prater's evening rate or the Nordportalstraße car park nearby.
Dietary requests and running late
Flag vegan, gluten-free or allergy needs when you book, or email the venue ahead of your date. If you arrive after the show has started, you are still welcome in — just wait for applause before taking your seat.
