Koningshuis the Musical plot
The six-part comedy series, Royal Family the Musical, takes place behind the scenes of a musical production about the Royal Family. We follow the fortunes of the cast and crew in the week before the hundredth performance of the show. The tension rises to unprecedented heights when star reporter Roel Verdonk from the showbiz program Studio Avenue also comes to record the preparations for a daily TV item during this exciting week. For example, the casting of the black actress Naomi Zwaan as Queen Máxima is discussed. Dominique Elschot, the ambitious director, cast this musical colour-blind, but that is not all: there is more, much more going on. The world behind the scenes turns out to be a lot less rosy and glamorous than on stage. When the big day of the hundredth performance of Koningshuis the Musical arrives, the mood changes completely when Studio Avenue makes a very shocking revelation. Will the cast still be able to focus on the important performance after this news or will everything go completely wrong? One thing is certain: the show must go on...
