The cast of the Royal House musical will hear great news: later that week, the royal couple will attend the hundredth performance. Presenter Roel Verdonk of the TV program Studio Avenue will capture the ups and downs behind the scenes in the theater for a daily TV item during this exciting week. The casting of the black Naomi as Queen Máxima is also discussed.
Non-binair
When Willem-Alexander interpreter Hans 1 threatens to lose his voice, it creates tensions for his understudy, Hans 2. Does a syringe from the ENT doctor offer a solution? Will the show go on? Meanwhile, cast member Cor is accused by dance captain Ming of anti-Asian racism and company manager Loesewies has to put out this fire. Beatrix- interpreter Debby and presenter Roel seem to know each other quite well from the past.
Cultural appropriation
Nominations for the Musical Awards are announced and when only Naomi turns out to be nominated for an award, not every cast member is equally happy with that. Because Hans 1 has really lost his voice now, Hans 2 will debut as Willem-Alexander this evening. He is especially stressed by it and has quite a hard time getting into his royal role.
Grensoverschrijdend gedrag
The atmosphere behind the scenes is cut. Tensions between dance captain Ming and Hans 2 are resuning and Loesewies has to solve this conflict. Meanwhile, Naomi and Debby have a screaming fight. Musical director Dominique appears to have been fired a week before the premiere for cross-border behavior. An investigation is ongoing.
White privilege
It's the day before the hundredth performance and the spits at the cast and crew are getting shorter and shorter. When Hans 2 still succumbs to pressure, Ming becomes the third interpreter of Willem-Alexander that week. Roel and his camera crew make a shocking discovery in the horse stable backstage at the hands of sound man Sywert, allowing Roel to reach a breaking point.
De zachte sector
The big day has arrived: today is the hundredth performance of the Royal House the musical. Unfortunately, the party mood soon changes when Studio Avenue makes very high-profile revelations about what is secretly going on between Debby and Cor. Can the cast focus enough on this important performance? And will the royal couple and André and Janny van Heel Holland Bakt still attend the anniversary?
