I want to see some theater or shows while I'm in St Petersburg. Does anyone have suggestions? Are tickets hard to get on a short notice? I will problble need several tickets. Unfortunately, I do not speak Russian, so this would need to be considered in what I would understand.

Possibility of getting tickets shortly depends on a theatre and, of course, on a show. About language barrier ... I think if you say "Two (three. four etc.) tickets to ... bla-bla-bla ..." everybody will understand you

Theatre my first visit. I was traveling in Russia on a one year, work visa. My friend bought me a "regular" ticket, which I discovered was for Russians, not for foreigners. We checked our coats and were going to our seats when babushka confronted us about my ticket. Now of course I understood nothing about what was being said; All I knew was my friend kept getting angrier. I thought she was gonna duke it out with this little old lady who was shouting at her and wagging the finger in my face. Of course I found it all to be amusing, which baba didn't seem to appreciate one bit. In the end, we were allowed to enter without me paying a ridiculous (extra) amount (something around $100 I was told), all because of my visa. Hope your visit to the theatre is memorable too!
