Overview
- The long-running production held its last public performances this weekend and staged a private 'final curtain' celebration for cast and crew on Sunday.
- Producers said rising production costs and weaker ticket demand in 2024–25 led to the decision to stop, and Fred Boot will step back after the finale.
- All 135,000 remaining tickets for the farewell run sold out within five days, and the final regular show featured a roughly ten-minute finale using 1,000 drones.
- Richard Zoer, one of three conductors, formally concluded about ten years of musical leadership and nearly 1,000 performances with the production.
- Over 16 years the show played nearly 4,000 times to more than four million visitors, used roughly 29 casts, employed about a thousand people and became known for its TheaterHangaar staging and remote orchestra setup.
