What Happened to Razzamataz Theatre Schools After Dragons’ Den?
Razzamataz Theatre Schools appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2007, Series 4 Episode 3. The business was a chain of dance, drama and singing schools for children.. They secured investment from Duncan Bannatyne on the show. The business is still active today.
The Pitch
Denise Hutton walked into the Den in 2007 with a chain of dance, drama and singing schools for children.. They were asking for £50,000 in exchange for 25% of the business.
The pitch landed well enough in the Den that at least one Dragon decided to back it.
The Deal
A deal was struck on the show. Duncan Bannatyne offered £50,000 for 25%, and Denise Hutton accepted.
It’s worth noting that Dragons’ Den deals agreed on camera often go through further negotiation off-screen. Some complete as shown; others are renegotiated or never finalise at all. The company’s subsequent trading history is the clearest indicator of what actually happened.
What Happened After the Show
Razzamataz Theatre Schools is one of those Den stories that actually lasted. Having appeared on the show back in 2007, the company has now been trading for well over a decade — an outcome that puts it ahead of the vast majority of startup ventures, let alone television pitches.
Is Razzamataz Theatre Schools Still in Business?
Yes. Razzamataz Theatre Schools appears to still be trading. Companies House records confirm the business is currently active.
