Their story
Founded in 1998 by Joop van den Ende (founder of audiovisual production company Endemol), the Stage Entertainment group has expanded internationally from its headquarters in Amsterdam to become a key player in the entertainment industry. Stage Entertainment works with the world's leading producers, including Disney Theatrical Productions (The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Mary Poppins, Aladdin, Tarzan...), Littlestar (Mamma Mia!), Cameron Mackintosh , Andrew Lloyd Webber (Cats, Phantom of the Opera) through licensing agreements. The group also develops and produces its own musicals through its creative department, both internationally and locally, such as Rocky, Anastasia, Tina The Musical, Sister Act...etc. At the heart of this work is our commitment to passing on our expertise and sharing the magic of live entertainment with our audiences.

Their vision
Stage Entertainment France is committed to greater diversity, equity and inclusion. Because we are shaping the world of tomorrow, we want to share the world of show business and musical comedy with as many people as possible, and together, dream further. We have a number of in-house initiatives in this direction:
Suspended tickets: modelled on the Italian "suspended coffees", this initiative enables those who wish to do so to finance "suspended" tickets, which are then redistributed to associations working in the social field.
Accessible sessions: in partnership with the Accès culture association, we make our show accessible to spectators with sensory disabilities, so that the experience of a show is just as magical for everyone.
Training: with the support of Afdas, we contribute to the training of people who are sometimes far removed from the world of culture.
Our aim? To bring the world of London's West End and America's Broadway to France, and thus to establish the musical theatre arts in France. To achieve so, we are convinced that we must demonstrate a strong commitment to the challenges of tomorrow, and take full measure of our social responsibility.
