With 'Burlesque', Het Witte Paard is breaking new ground. The show will bring the sultry New York of the 1920s to life from 4 April to 3 May 2025. 'Burlesque' will be a classic variety show in contemporary direction with a naughty edge. With Sandrine, Ianthe Tavernier and Peter Thyssen, among others, a rock-solid cast is announced. This show is also the perfect opportunity for a successful company party, a unique team building, as a conclusion to a seminar or as an original end-of-year gift.

Production manager Martijn Claes outlines what you can expect: 'Imagine: you enter a smoky nightclub, where every corner whispers a secret and temptation is everywhere. Extravagant costumes, exciting special acts, big dance numbers and jazz around the piano take you to a world full of glamour and mystery. Sensual voices make you melt and great talents drag you along in a passionate whirlwind. In Burlesque the focus is on temptation, but it is never explicit. We do want to stimulate the imagination a little.'


The cast of Burlesque is solid as a rock. With Sandrine and Ianthe Tavernier, two of the most impressive voices in Flanders are on stage together. Peter Thyssen not only has a beautiful crooner voice, he also provides the ironic humor. With Pieter Casteleyn and Daan Keisse, two handsome men appear in the show who sing and act fantastically. Lien Van den Bossche returns to Het Witte Paard after her much-appreciated passage in the summer show. For the international acts, producer Ben Van den Keybus traveled all over Europe to look for suitable artists. Add to that the Vegas Showdancers, and the audience knows that it will be an impressive experience.


Producer Ben Van den Keybus adds: 'It will be a total experience. As soon as you arrive at Het Witte Paard, we will immerse you in the style of the show. The atmosphere we evoke is reminiscent of the Charleston, 'The Great Gatsby' and secret speak-easy bars. The founder of Het Witte Paard, my great-grandfather, lived in the United States during the heyday of the genre in the 1930s. It was there that he got the idea to start a variety theatre in Belgium, with the well-known success. 'Burlesque' is in this way an ode to the roots of Het Witte Paard, but then in a contemporary performance. We take you to a different time, away from the everyday. That is actually what Het Witte Paard stands for with all its productions: forgetting your worries for a while, and leaving the theatre afterwards with a big smile on your face.'
