Life
As a child, Maike Boerdam had her first solo appearance in the church of her hometown Sluis . Later she began her training at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels (Drama / Musical) before moving to the Royal Conservatory in Ghent (Drama). She also received singing lessons from Edward Hoepelman .

Together with other musical stars, she went on tour with "Best of Musical" before preparing for her new challenge - the role of Hendrickje Stoffels in the musical "Rembrandt" . But not only professionally this year brought some changes. In April 2006 Maike Boerdam married the German musician, composer and lyricist Michael Strobel, on whose debut album "THINK" she was a background singer. She also shows her other musical side with the maxi CD "Grow into light", on which her own songs can be heard.
After a few years in Germany, Amsterdam became Maike Boerdam's new home in 2006. At Theater Carré she was there until January 2007 in the role of Hendrickje Stoffels alongside Henk Poort as Rembrandt in the musical of the same name. After a short "Best of Musical" tour through Germany and Switzerland, in which she played Mary Poppins, Jane (Tarzan) and Christine (Phantom of the Opera), she returned to Amsterdam. There she was on stage as Cinderella in the musical theater M-Lab until September 29, 2007 for the musical "Into the woods".
