K3 is (almost) ready for the musical 'The 3 Little Pigs' 'I hope you don't have a cold on stage, it's hard to blow your nose' | Showbiz

“We've been training for a week now,” Hahn says. But the full musical hasn't reached our bodies yet. We're just rehearsing each scene in the right order the week before the premiere, so it's going to be very exciting. “But it will be okay,” Julia soothes. “I panicked more before the regular K3 tour. We train literally every day, for eight hours each time. Only on Sundays we sleep and do nothing.

It is their first EP under the “new” K3 name, with production by the “old” girl group. Although some scenes have changed here and there compared to the first versions from 2003 and 2007 – then with Karen, Krystle and Kathleen. “We got some advice from them, but only about our fashion, because that will be the biggest change for us,” says Marthe. “Those sticky noses, for example, famously start itching if you wear them for a while. And then we have to hope we don't catch a cold, because cleaning our noses is difficult. “We then have to wipe away our snot with a cotton swab. “That would be tough,” Julia laughs.

“But above all, we are really looking forward to it. The musical is very different from the K3 show. For the first time, we will not be shouting ‘Are you looking forward to it?!’ We will be involved in a story that we will tell with the whole team.”

Starting February 10, K3 will tour Flanders for three months with the musical “De 3 Biggetjes”. 150,000 tickets have already been sold. Information and tickets via studio100.com
