Stoornis of my Life - A musical that proves that everything is already good the way it is.... even if you sometimes have to put on an entire Broadway show to do so. The feel-good musical comedy of the year where you are guaranteed to come out happier than you went in.

Sometimes you end up in the wrong place at exactly the right time. Or the other way around. That's how life feels for Jasper - who happens to have autism, but that's not what this show is about.

Stoornis of my Life is a hilarious, touching and surprisingly recognizable musical comedy about what happens when your perfectly directed life suddenly has no script anymore. For Jasper (Alex Klaasen), life is one big musical: delightfully predictable, with set patterns and - most importantly - a guaranteed happy ending.

Until his mother (Sylvia Poorta) - director of his life - suddenly dies and his "successful" brother (Jim Bakkum/Soy Kroon) decides to completely rewrite the script. With the best intentions of course, but without realizing that he is the one who is actually completely out of line. Because who decides what is 'normal'?

In this dazzling, disarming and refreshingly honest musical comedy, Jasper must not only save himself, but also free his brother from the limiting thought: that you know what is good for another.

With live music, sparkling choreography and a star cast to feast on: Alex Klaasen, Jim Bakkum/Soy Kroon, Noortje Herlaar/Kim-Lian van der Meij, Sylvia Poorta, Dennis Willekens, Julia Lammerts, Iris Bakker and Martijn Kardol. As versatile and unpredictable as the spectrum itself.

P.S. For control freaks: This musical lasts exactly 2 hours and 42 minutes, including intermission. Don't be late. Jasper doesn't like it. Neither does Alex, for that matter.

  • On 5 and 6 March there will be an introduction at 19.15 hrs.
  • Jim Bakkum and Soy Kroon share the role.
    * Noortje Herlaar and Kim-Lian van der Meij share the role.
