Klan Baťa
A musical about the Baťa dynasty blending 1950s Hollywood style with contemporary rap and beatbox. The story follows generations of shoemakers from the 16th century to 2008.
Klan Baťa is an original Czech musical written by Daniela Sodomová and directed by Adéla Laštovková Stodolová, tracing the Baťa shoe dynasty from its 16th-century roots to 2008. Created to mark the 150th anniversary of Tomáš Baťa's birth, it is the first musical ever staged at the Letní scéna Musea Kampa in Prague. Unlike earlier productions in the same series, the story centres on the whole family rather than a single figure, spanning several countries. The score blends 1940s-50s musical theatre styles with rap, beatbox and tap dance.
Klan Baťa is sold out for the 2026 season - all performances at the Summer Stage of Kampa Museum are booked.
The musical had its premiere on June 16, 2026 at the Summer Stage of Kampa Museum, in the year of the 150th anniversary of Tomáš Baťa's birth.
The website i-divadlo.cz rated the production 85% and highlighted the performances of Daniel Krejčík and Marek Lambora.
Czech Television included the announcement of the musical Klan Baťa in its December overview of cultural events.
Due to great audience interest, additional dates were added to the schedule even before the premiere.
