Will my kid enjoy it without Dutch?

The songs and puppetry work in any language, but the story is told in Dutch, so a kid who doesn't follow Dutch will miss much of the plot. Retelling the film beforehand helps.

Is it scary for little ones?

Cruella de Vil is a proper villain and the rescue has tense moments, but the organizer pitches it as a family musical with lots of humor.

What if the Amsterdam dates don't work?

The show is touring theaters across the Netherlands and Belgium, and the official site lists every city and date.

About

A Dutch-language stage musical of the story families know from the film and the novel: a young couple, their Dalmatians and a litter of puppies, until Cruella de Vil wants the pups for a spotted fur coat. What follows is a tense and funny rescue mission. Expect catchy songs, puppetry and plenty of humor. It suits kids who follow Dutch and can sit through a theater show with an intermission.

From €29
