Pinokkio

The next musical to take place in the Efteling Theater will be Pinnochio (Pinokkio), and Efteling are currently looking for 1,300 children to fill the roles.  This is the 13th production by Efteling (including shows before the theater was built) and shows begin on September 20th.

It has been a good few years since the theater produced a show solely based on a well-known classic story, the last one being Cinderella back in the 2007-2008 season.

Here’s the video (for our Dutch-speaking friends) giving you all the information you need should you have a child who wishes to be in this musical:

Does anyone remember when the Efteling Hotel was a part of the Golden Tulip Hotels group?  It was many years ago now, but while sorting through some old papers we found this leaflet advertising Efteling merchandise (click images for a closer look).

Golden Tulip Golden Tulip 2Check out the Swarovski jewellery!  The celebration cakes also look really nice, and who can pass up Laaf beer?!  We also found some old maps which state that Efteling is the ‘funniest’ day out in the Netherlands.  What a strange word to use to describe Efteling!

According to Brabants Dagblad, Efteling are wanting to do away with the road between the Efteling Hotel and Vogel Rok/Efteling Hotel guest entrance (Horst).  It’s only a narrow road, but the question is, why do Efteling want to bridge the gap between their two properties?  If they do, Efteling will all be on one piece of land without any gaps; but is that road so much of a gap?

Road between Efteling Hotel and the park.

 

We cant be sure what Efteling would do with that extra piece of land (maybe a nicer entrance to the park for hotel guests?!) but according to Brabants Dagblad, ‘Efteling will explain the future plans for expansion eastward on March 26 at the city council.’ 

Efteling also have their eye on the Rabobank building across the street from the Efteling Hotel.  This is a space which would most likely be used for offices, instead of or possibly as well as the office/workshop behind Carnaval Festival.
