Looking to change the perception of Musical-Theater through new, engaging, but still entertaining musicals.
Musicals in the Netherlands for too long have been neglected as an extravagant, commercial form of entertainment, separated from the ‘art’ of classic text-based theater or other forms of Musical-Theater.
By making new, engaging and above all great musical theater that represents the best parts of the genre, the stigma of the Dutch Musical Theater can be altered for the better.
