Cast, band and crew across many stops: we bring your production from venue to venue in the right coach and into hotels that fit the performance rhythm.
We organise tours and guest performances for musical productions and music shows: touring productions with cast, band and crew, shows with live music and dance, and ensembles that are on the road with one production for several weeks. Coach travel and accommodation are at the centre of what we do. Cast and band travel in coaches of every size and specification, from a minibus for the band to a full-size coach for the whole production, plus minivans and limousines for management, soloists and guests. On tours with many stops the same coach accompanies the production from venue to venue, with a dedicated dispatcher on larger projects. We choose hotels within reach of the venue, with hours that fit get-in, performance and late evenings: late check-in, breakfast after the previous night's show, room allocation according to your list. Rail, flights and ferries complement the coach, and individual arrivals and departures for single members are possible. Costumes, backline and hand luggage travel in the coach; for stage and technical equipment we arrange a suitable van if needed. Our network covers more than 30 partners across Europe: coaches and hotels in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as well as in France, the Benelux countries, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary and the United Kingdom. Tours across several countries are planned as one route. Coach transport is our core strength; on request we take on the complete travel management of the tour: schedule with driving-time rules, hotels at every stop, one tour plan for all venues and coordination with the theatres. As a tour operator with insolvency protection we give production and promoter legal security. Ideally, planning starts 6 to 9 months before the first performance; for tours with many stops we recommend 12 months of lead time.
Direct access to a network of coaches of every size and specification: minibus for the band, full-size coach for the whole production, plus minivans and limousines for management, soloists and guests. Larger projects include a dedicated dispatcher.
Accommodation within reach of the venue, with hours that fit get-in, performance and late evenings: late check-in, breakfast after the previous night's show, room allocation according to your list, across all stops of the tour.
Many stops in a row need a schedule with driving-time rules that brings together performance days, travel and hotel changes. We build it as one document for production, crew and drivers.
The crew often travels ahead of the production for the get-in. We plan both routes as one tour plan, by coach, rail or air depending on group and distance.
Group tickets, individual arrivals and departures for single members, or a combination of rail and coach: flexible, time-saving and as sustainable as possible.
One fixed contact person from planning to the last stop. Costumes, backline and hand luggage travel in the coach; for stage and technical equipment we arrange a suitable van if needed.
The classic musical tour: several weeks, many cities, fixed performance days. The same coach accompanies the production, schedule with driving-time rules, hotels at every stop in one tour plan.
One stop, several performances: coach there and back, hotel for the run within reach of the venue, return after the last performance.
Shows with live music, dance and soloists, often at short notice: coach for ensemble and band, hotel, return overnight or the following day.
Several weeks of rehearsals in one place: transfers, accommodation and catering for cast and band, then the coach to the first stop of the tour.
