From circus venue to musical theatre

The theatre opened in 1904 as a circus venue and gradually developed into one of the Netherlands' best-known performance stages. It is especially associated with major musicals and elaborate stage productions.

Its position near the boulevard makes it possible to combine theatre with a beach walk, dinner or a stay in Scheveningen.

Musicals, concerts and special events

Programming varies throughout the year and may feature major musicals, concerts, comedy and family-oriented productions. Popular long-running productions are regularly accompanied by special performances.

Review the theatre's official agenda for the precise production, seating categories and duration before deciding on a date.

Language, families and show duration

Many performances are staged in Dutch. International visitors should check the language and whether a production is suitable without understanding Dutch dialogue.

Age guidance, intervals and running time vary. Family shows may have minimum age recommendations, while some evening productions run late.

Tickets, seating and dining

There is no single fixed admission price: tickets are priced per event, date and seat category. Premium seating and popular weekend shows may cost more.

Restaurant Le Cirque offers a dining option at the theatre. Availability and reservations depend on the performance schedule, so book dinner ahead when planning a full evening out.

Parking, accessibility and arrival

The theatre is at Circusplein 50, within the Scheveningen seaside district. Public transport and nearby garages can be more convenient than street parking during busy evenings.

Accessible seating, visitor assistance and hearing support may be available; arrange your requirements directly while reserving tickets. Plan to arrive before the venue's stated admission time.
