Musical in Flanders is a gold mine for the one, a fiasco for the other: We make there is just too much for such a small market

Showbiz The musicalwereld limps on two thoughts. While Studio 100 with ‘40-45’ one record after another fall and also the musical ‘Daens’ already in the pipeline, many other producers are still barely off the cost. And that look annoyed to the overwhelming success of ‘40-45’, as it turns out in Day All.

Let's first zoom in on the good news from musicalland. Studio 100 counts himself rich with the success of ‘40-45’. 600,000 tickets already, and that's where it stops the counter, because the performances were once again extended. At least until may 17, 2020 you get the chance to oorlogsmusical in the pop-uptheater in Puurs.

For comparison: its predecessor ‘14-18’ klokte in 2014 on 330.000 tickets. Then we had the performance to be stopped, because the Mechelse Nekkerhal is no longer available as a location. The musical made it to a record revenue of 176,6 million euro at Studio 100.

Now is that so a multitude. And that has Studio 100 to a large extent due to the risks it takes. In the spektakelmusical ‘40-45’ was 15 million euros will be invested. In order that sum to be recovered, there must be at least 100.000 tickets will be sold, which is virtually effortlessly is successful. Even long before the premiere. And also the revival of ‘Daens’, who already is announced but only in February 2020, premiere, promises to be a blockbuster to be, eleven years after the original version. Mainly because the theatre in Puurs's already there. ‘Daens’ will alternate with ‘40-45’ to be increased, with virtually the same cast.
