Is Caro worth your time and money?

The show is a language independent musical spectacle suitable for the entire family with dance, acrobatics and depicts a beautiful story about the circle of life. 'CARO' stands out not just in format but also in content. Unlike traditional musicals, it is more akin to a variety act, featuring minimal spoken text, making it accessible to an international audience. The show dazzles with acrobatics, dance, and special effects, all accompanied by a blend of Efteling music and popular songs. The audience is seated around a large, central rotating platform, reminiscent of a steam carousel, adding a unique and immersive element to the experience. Special effects like fire from the floor and a water curtain further enhance the spectacle.

The Universal Story of Oscar

Before the show starts, audiences are entertained by a clown performing amusing antics, dressed in a costume inspired by the pig rider of the Stoomcarrousel, complete with a small piglet.  The show begins with the transformation of the clown and piglet into Mr. and Mrs. Time, who guide the audience through Oscar's life. Key musical moments include the Beatles' "All You Need is Love", Adele's "When We Were Young", and R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly", interspersed with Efteling's own music and other pop songs. The performance features imaginative scenes, including a Zeppelin journey, acrobatic acts, and heartwarming family moments.

The narrative follows the standard life story of a character named Oscar, encompassing universal themes of youth, love, marriage, parenthood, loss, and grandparenthood. This approach makes the story relatable to a diverse array of international spectators.
