Fri–Sat: U-Bahn and S-Bahn run 24/7 (every ~15 mins). Sun–Thu: last trains around 00:30, resume at 04:00; night buses (Nachtbus) cover those routes in between (same ticket works). Check your show day's schedule before you head out.
Payment

Currency & exchange
Euros (EUR, €). Since cash still matters, exchange some beforehand. ATMs are everywhere.

German. Berlin's pretty English-friendly (tourism, young people), and transit signs are in English.
