BWW Review: DAGBOEK VAN EEN HERDERSHOND⭐️⭐️⭐️ at MECC Maastricht!
by Chantal Kunst - May 09, 2022

Toneelgroep Maastricht and Albert Verlinde Producties bring us a new production this season, Dagboek van een Herdersbond, based on the Dutch television series by Willy van Hemert, which aired from the late 70's to early 80's. A huge success with 6 million viewers....

BWW Review: TINA THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL FT. NURLAILA KARIM AS TINA at Beatrix Theater Utrecht
by Chantal Kunst - April 21, 2022

Tina Turner. A legend. One of the most hard working singers in showbizz and still going strong. Legendary and beloved all over the world....

BWW Review: JOHN WILLIAMS PRESENTS RNB OLDSKOOL HITS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Ahoy Rotterdam
by Chantal Kunst - April 17, 2022

After a successful tour through Dutch theatres, the ultimate venue for this show has proven to be Ahoy. RnB Icons is the ultimate throwback to the 80's, 90's and 00's. FroM Tupac to Boyz II Men, from Madonna to Aaliyah. The crowd is buzzing. The sheer energy in the room is from the get-go!...

BWW Review: DE PASSIE: A HEAVENLY MIX OF THE CLASSICAL MATTHÄUS PASSION WITH JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Theater de Flint
by Chantal Kunst - April 15, 2022

The full St. Matthew Passion is 3,5 hours. In general, the Jesus Christ Superstar audience wouldn't be in the MP audience and vice versa. This is a brilliant introduction to both genres, and let's be honest, make the MP more bearable. It's quite a tough musical piece, very Bach, heavy, dramatic, in ...

BWW Review: TROMPETTIST OF AUSCHWITZ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Leidse Schouwburg!
by Chantal Kunst - April 04, 2022

A black stage. A marble stone, which may or may not be a tombstone. And the oh so familiar barbed wire fences with eerie lampposts. As simple as the decor may be (by Joris van Veldhoven) yet it is very effective.  Lightning design by Coen van der Hoeven contributes to set the scene...

BWW Review: HARRIE NEEMT DE BENEN ⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Goudse Schouwburg - Harrie Vermeulen is back where he belongs…on stage!
by Chantal Kunst - March 23, 2022

It must be said, Jon is the king of physical comedy. In particular, his will he/won't he pole dance act was a treat. His fellow cast members hold their own though. Joey Schalker plays a lovable dum-dum, and the number two as Harrie's partner and nephew Barrie. Margo Dames transforms easily from crud...

BWW Review: RENEE VAN WEGBERG - HOU ME VAST⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at DeLaMar Theater
by Chantal Kunst - March 01, 2022

Renée van Wegberg. Singer and actress, and she proves to be one of the extraordinary ones. Her show Hou me Vast takes us on a journey through the Dutch repertoire of male beloved vocalists, most of whom are part of Dutch cultural heritage. Toon Hermans and Maarten van Roozendaal are amongst them, bu...

BWW Review: THE LAST FIVE YEARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Het Amsterdams Theaterhuis!
by Chantal Kunst - December 11, 2021

Orange Theatre Company (Amsterdam's English Language Theatre Company) brings us a beautiful rendition of The Last Five Years, a classic in musical theatre, written and composed by Jason Robert Brown....

BWW Review: ONE de MUSICAL | A PAINFUL JOURNEY THROUGH EGYPT ⭐️ at Studio's Aalsmeer
by Chantal Kunst - November 28, 2021

Sometimes the life of a theatre critic is hard. Sometimes it's really hard. Unfortunately the latter is the case after seeing One the musical, a show which has been 20 years in the making....

BWW Review: COME FROM AWAY at Luxor Theater Rotterdam | A heartfelt ode to mankind! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
by Chantal Kunst - November 19, 2021

Tuesday, September 11th, 2001. 9/11. A date engraved in our souls. The horrific terrorist attack on America, where almost 3000 lives were lost, in the twin towers of NYC and the Pentagon....

BWW Review: AMELIE DE MUSICAL ⭐⭐⭐ at Theater De Veste Delft!
by Chantal Kunst - October 22, 2021

Christanne de Bruijn plays a ballsy Amélie. Her calm and quirky presence makes a perfect Amélie. Feisty on the one hand, yet awkward on the other. Her love-interest Nino (David Schwarz) is not a stereotypical leading character, which is refreshing. Not overly present but comes in and out of her life...

BWW Review: DISNEY'S ALADDIN at Circustheater Scheveningen | A magical and thrilling (carpet) ride! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

BWW Review: ROCKY HORROR SHOW at ITA! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
by Chantal Kunst - July 30, 2021

Legendary. A cult smash-hit. It took over 40 years to come to the Netherlands. Was it worth the wait?...

BWW Review: THE SOUND OF MUSIC – A HEAVENLY PRODUCTION!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ at Circustheater Scheveningen
by Chantal Kunst - July 10, 2021

Overture and opening scene. The choral of nuns. It’s a beautiful, melodic and gorgeous song to begin with, but this rendition is just angelic. If Sunday mass would be so good in actual church, I would convert immediately and be there front row every week. Lead by Mother Superior (opera singer Franci...

BWW Review: HUGO DE GROOT DE MUSICAL at Schouwburg De Nieuwe Doelen: A must-needed history lesson!
by Chantal Kunst - July 03, 2021

A known name in Dutch history, and this year it's exactly 400 years ago when he cleverly escaped in a book chest from Slot Loevenstein, the castle in which he was imprisoned for his religious and political ideas....
