Efteling theme park launches CARO live show

Efteling´s 16th theatre production, which celebrated its Opening Night on Saturday 16 September at the Efteling Theatre in Kaatsheuvel, is different to all previous shows at Efteling.
CARO is jam-packed with acrobatics, special effects, song and dance but almost entirely without spoken word in order to appeal to an international audience. The standing ovation at the end was proof that the theatre-goers had identified themselves with the story and had, for a while, let themselves be carried along in the 'merry-go-round of life'. Marcel Visscher and Talita Angwarmasse sang their hearts out in their roles as Mr and Mrs Time.CARO is in line with Efteling's ambition to develop from a theme park to an international short-break destination. “Producing a theatre show in which speech and language are subordinate was a real challenge. Fortunately, the music composed especially for CARO by René Merkelbach creates a storyline that is easy to relate to and understand”, says Olaf Vugts, Creative Director.
