Creative Development at Stage Entertainment

Over the years, Stage Entertainment has built strong partnerships with some of the world’s leading theatre producers. Working together with these licensors, we have successfully presented local language productions in our theatres across Europe of some of the most successful musicals ever created. As one of Europe’s leading theatre production companies, we also have ambitions to continue developing and presenting our own musical titles.

We aim to produce one new title each year using Stage Entertainment’s extensive knowledge and experience of the countries in which we operate. In 2007 we presented Ciske de Rat (in the Netherlands) and Ich war noch niemals in New York and Hinterm Horizont (in Germany). Both productions received rave reviews and have been sold out since opening. Ich will Spass! and Der Schuh des Manitu both opened in Germany in the Fall of 2008. In 2010, the musical Petticoat was developed for the Dutch audience, followed in 2011 by the musical Droomvlucht. Meanwhile Stage Entertainment UK has developed Sister Act, a co-production with Whoopi Goldberg, which played in 2009 at the Palladium Theatre in London and has premiered on Broadway on April 20.
