Circustheater

The Circustheater is a performance venue for large-scale theatrical productions in the coastal district of The Hague, featuring a spacious auditorium with more than 1800 seats. The building contains modern facilities designed to accommodate shows that run for extended periods.

The building opened in 1904 as a summer venue for circus performances and was converted into a musical theatre in 1964. This transformation reflected changing entertainment preferences and growing interest in longer-running productions.

The theatre serves as a gathering place where people come to experience major musical productions that often run for extended periods, drawing audiences from across the region. The range of shows presented reflects what audiences in this area enjoy watching together.

The theatre is easily accessible by public transport and has several parking options nearby for those arriving by car. Plan to arrive with enough time to explore the area and settle in before a show begins.

Following a major renovation in the early 1990s, the building became the first purpose-built musical theatre stage in the country. This redesign allowed musical productions to run for many months at a time, which was a new approach to theatre operations at that moment.
