Happily Ever After Productions was originally founded in 2008 in Los Angeles, California. It started as a Children’s Theatre Company, producing musicals for children 4-17 at schools throughout the area.
After ten years, founder Sara Watts decided to relocate to Amsterdam. In this new city, it was clear that the need for musical theatre in English in this city was great. There were many theater groups that did an occasional musical, and once or twice a year a big tour comes through, but not an opportunity to perform in, or go see an English language musical at all times. Since our first production of Into the Woods in early 2020, our community and production quality has grown significantly. We have now produced all sorts of musicals including Working, Little Shop of Horrors, Ordinary Days, Avenue Q, Chicago, and most recently we premiered the musical Be More Chill here in The Netherlands for the first time! Our goal is to continue to grow and make quality productions here in Amsterdam, so we don’t all need to go to the West End or wait for a tour to see the big shows.
