Such a beautiful theater. I was lucky enough to go to this theater back in February…read more The event started at 8pm. The doors opened at 7pm and the theater itself opened its doors so you could sit down at 7:30pm. In the in between there is a cafe and other random seating areas. The seats were comfortable but a little small. I noticed a lot of folks having issues finding their seat which I thought was odd with the amount of ushers there. Ushers were an issue here. The event did not allow photos or video which was fine, but the ushers standing in front of you, holding that light in front of someone takes the fun out of the show. At one point, I watched an usher jump over about 15 or more people in a row to get to someone in the middle section who was video recording. Totally takes you out of the space. Now the acoustics inside were amazing. I don't think I've ever heard sound like that before. It was perfect. I was in awe. Overall it was a great theater. Minus the overzealous ushers and it would have been perfect.

Good selection of teas, coffees, drinks, and even smoothies. I usually have their salmon and eggs breakfast, and it's delicious. The internet connect here is BLAZING fast, which has been great, considering I deal with large file transfers. I've been here multiple times and have been able to stay for hours with solid focus. It does get busy around dinner time, though.

This theater puts on cute little renditions of classic stories for children, in Dutch. Even if your…read morechild isn't that fluent in Dutch they will probably enjoy the bright costumes and the strong emoting done by the actors. The lights stay on 'in the house' the entire time, so children can feel safe and don't have to sit in the dark. It's also fine if they talk or make noise, they're accustomed to that. There are also a few breaks during the play where the actors encourage the children in the audience to get up and dance or move around, so that is great for the fidgety-pantsed little ones in the audience. They put on a few different versions of the play for different age ranges, so the time and date of the play will vary based on how old your child is. They also have free cookies and limonade, and a clothes rack with little costumes the kids can wear before and during the play. Be sure to reserve your spot on the website before you show up. Downsides of this place are that it's expensive. It's about 19 euros for one adult and one child. There is no discount for the adult or anything. I also don't like that they only open 15 minutes before the show, and it's not even clear from their website when they actually open. So I find I am always trying to get there right on time, which means I am inevitably 10-15 minutes late, because I'm traveling with a toddler, and then I always miss the first few minutes of the play. That's kind of a lot to miss when the whole show is like 45-60 minutes long. They also push their dance lessons every time I am paying for my tickets, and the last time I was there I asked what the difference was between their dance lessons and the Amsterdam Dance Center, and they said "I don't know. Why don't you tell me." So, not helpful. That being said, they fill a niche for children's theater that is consistently available year-round, even during school holidays, so they're still worth checking out.
