Overview
- Producers confirmed the musical will close with a final performance on July 12 at the TheaterHangaar near Katwijk aan Zee.
- The production has played since 2010 with roughly 4,000 performances and nearly 4 million tickets sold, making it the Netherlands’ longest-running musical.
- Rehearsals have begun for the 29th cast and ticket demand is rising, with the team aiming to finish with full houses.
- Producer Fred Boot pointed to a reduced performance schedule, softer post‑pandemic attendance and higher costs as key factors behind the decision.
- Advanced pre‑COVID plans for a London staging were halted, and any return or transfer would require new investment and is not currently set.
