The fiftieth anniversary of the song Ding-a-Dong will be celebrated in May 2025 with a special musical. Singer Getty Kaspers is among those working on the show. Her band at the time, Teach-In, won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1975 with Ding-a-Dong.
According to producer Hoftheater Studios, the play is “an ode to the Eurovision Song Contest and the iconic winning song”.
In the musical, a presenter launches a new television format in order to find the perfect Dutch Eurovision candidate. But the road to success turns out to be much more difficult than expected. Kaspers plays the chairman of the jury for the program.
Nurlaila Karim and Thomas Cammaert can also be seen in Dingedong – The Eurovision Musical. Cornald Maas can be heard as the voice-over.
Kaspers went into the studio for the show to record a new version of the song. The singer will release this new version in March. The show will also feature other songs that have represented the Netherlands over the past decades.
The premiere of Dingedong – The Eurovision Musical is on Saturday 10 May 2025. The show will be performed six times in the ‘Theater aan het Spui’ in The Hague. Source: nu.nl
