My opinion
I really enjoyed the evening. I never had been to a musical before, and I was looking forward to how
it would actually be. I went there quite open-minded, not really having any expectations, other than
to be entertained. I was positively surprised by what I saw. The story is very ‘contagious’ as it takes
you with it to something that could have happened (and actually did). The organization and the
whole picture just made it really feel like a special evening. The songs make the storyline more clear
for me, which is good, since many of the characters look alike (especially at the start), they were
good too, and conveyed there message well. The only thing I didn’t really like is the storyline. To me
it was a bit too nationalistic, a bit too focused on Dutch Resistance, and how bad ‘de moffen’ were.
Of course this is inevitable in a war-themed story, but it still stood out to me as something I did not
enjoy.
All in all the performance was great. I really enjoyed myself. In the future I might go to a musical
more quickly, as it really was nice. My views on musical haven’t changed too much, apart from the
fact that I now like it a bit more. It’s not something I would really quickly do, not now and not in the
future. It was not eye-opening but simply extremely entertaining.
