The musical holds a legendary status as the very first musical production ever created by Studio 100 . Originally debuting in 1998, this timeless fairy tale has been revived multiple times across Belgium and the Netherlands. Most recently, it celebrated a grand, modernized revival during the summer of 2024 at the Studio 100 Theater De Panne in Plopsaland . Understanding the evolution of this beloved production requires looking at both the star-studded 2024 modern cast and the historic actors who originally breathed life into these iconic characters.

More recently, the 2023-2024 production saw a generational shift. (known from the boy band 4Tune) took on the prince, while Jools Jatta Janssens (a former K3 member) played Sneeuwwitje. Janssens, in particular, embodied the Studio 100 philosophy: she was already a household name for the core demographic (children aged 4-10) from her time in the most famous girl group in the Low Countries. Her casting meant that the audience was not meeting a character for the first time; they were welcoming a familiar friend into the fairy tale.

The Evil Queen (Koningin) is the role that offers the most dramatic weight, and Studio 100 has consistently cast actresses with formidable stage presence and vocal power. The archetypal Studio 100 Queen was in earlier productions. Gils, a classically trained actress with a history in both television and theatre, played the Queen with a chilling, aristocratic iciness.

The 2024 revival had some big shoes to fill, but it was a labor of love for everyone involved. At the helm, the genius behind the unforgettable songs is . The original libretto was crafted by none other than Studio 100's own masterminds, Gert Verhulst, Danny Verbiest, and Hans Bourlon .
For the 2014-2015 production, the role of Sneeuwwitje was played by , a former junior Eurovision Song Contest participant who had grown up in the public eye. Her casting was a brilliant stroke of meta-casting: Omloop, like Snow White, represented an innocent, pure-voiced ingénue transitioning into a mature performer. Her clear, powerful soprano gave the classic songs (“Eéndag komt mijn prins,” “Liefde overwint alles”) a contemporary pop sheen while retaining their fairy-tale delicacy. Opposite her, the Prins (Florian) was played by Kurt Rogiers , a seasoned Studio 100 actor from the band K3’s extended universe. Rogiers brought a comedic, self-deprecating charm to the prince—less of a stoic hero and more of an earnest, slightly clumsy young man, making him accessible to young boys who might otherwise scoff at romance. Janssens, in particular, embodied the Studio 100 philosophy:

After nearly two decades, Studio 100 decided it was time to bring this treasured classic back. In December 2023, they announced the 2024 revival, which would be staged exclusively in the brand-new Studio 100 Theater inside Plopsaland De Panne. The mission was clear: create a show for a new generation while staying true to what made the original so beloved.
