Sneeuwwitje Musical Studio 100 Cast
Introduction: Studio 100 is known for mega-hits like Samson & Gert and K3, but their stage musical adaptation of Sneeuwwitje (Snow White) remains a beloved gem for 90s and 2000s kids. Unlike the Disney version, this production stayed true to the darker Grimm brothers’ tone but with the signature Studio 100 humor and heartwarming music by Johan Vanden Eede.
The Main Cast (Typical Original/Notable Production): Note: Studio 100 produced multiple tours. The most famous lineup (circa early 2000s) included:
Why This Cast Worked: The chemistry was electric. The dwarfs performed incredible acrobatics, and the Queen’s transformation scene was pure theatrical magic using live costume changes (no CGI!). sneeuwwitje musical studio 100 cast
Where are they now? Many of these actors went on to star in Spring, K3 movies, or become vocal coaches on The Voice van Vlaanderen.
The core of any Sneeuwwitje production lies in the title role and her prince. Studio 100 has consistently eschewed unknown theatre actors in favor of recognizable pop stars and television personalities, a strategy that guarantees box office success while demanding a high level of versatility.

For the 2014-2015 production, the role of Sneeuwwitje was played by Laura Omloop, 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.
More recently, the 2023-2024 production saw a generational shift. Jasper Publie (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. Why This Cast Worked: The chemistry was electric
In de periode rond 2003-2005 zat Studio 100 op het toppunt van zijn live-entertainment kunnen. Na het enorme succes van "Doornroosje" en "Assepoester" was het de beurt aan Sneeuwwitje. Eerdere versies van Sneeuwwitje op televisie (zoals de vertelversie met Walter Capiau) waren al populair, maar de grootschalige theatershow bracht een nieuwe dynamiek.
De productie werd geregisseerd door Gert Verhulst en Hans Bourlon, met muziek van Johan Vanden Eede (bekend van onder andere Vrienden voor het Leven). Wat deze musical bijzonder maakte, was de mix van live zang, weelderige kostuums en een vleugje humor die typisch is voor Studio 100: niet te kinderachtig, maar ook niet te donker. De gemene koningin was werkelijk angstaanjagend, maar de zeven dwergen zorgden voor hilarische scènes.
