The Rob de Nijs musical: his hits, his affairs and his great love.
The musical is based on a true and defining moment in Rob's life, in which he hovers between dream and reality. Meanwhile, due to Parkinson's disease, he is capable of little. To cheer him up, Jet takes him back to his younger years and together they step into the Circus of his Memory. Accompanied by familiar characters such as Jan Klaassen de Trompetter, Sister Ursula and Malle Babbe, they relive highs and lows of his rich and high-profile career. The winning of his first talent show, an appearance in Voor De Vuist Weg with Willem Duys, the first hit "Zachtjes tikt de regen", the great success of "Banger Hart" and much more.
And what was the real deal with Rob's love life and hundreds of affairs all these years? Jet wants to get to the bottom of it. This delivers recognizable, fragile but also humorous moments.
René van Kooten plays Rob de Nijs and Lottie Hellingman and Maartje van de Wetering alternately play Jet de Nijs. Together with the rest of the cast, they bring the story and all the big hits to life in a beautiful setting with live orchestra.
Join us on this imaginative journey and let Rob take you back one more time to the pubs with blond frothy beer in which he deals with the gentlemen of decency.
