The music party game Hitster debuted as a television game show presented by Chantal Janzen. Dutch celebrities competed against one another in a musical contest based on the game.

Chantal Janzen returned to musical theatre as Sally Bowles in the Dutch production of Cabaret, which premiered at DeLaMar Theatre after try-outs. It was her first musical stage appearance in about ten years, although reports differed slightly on the length of her absence. Janzen said after the performance that she thought the premiere had gone well. Reviews described director Daria Bukvić’s production as urgent and grim, with references to the present; one review said its second act was more effective than its slower first act. Janzen received praise for her performance.
