Kees de Jongen is a fascinating gem that blends musical theatre with a dash of nostalgia. This stage registration captures the creative spirit of the play – an adaptation of Theo Thijssen's novel. There's a charming rawness to how it portrays the vivid imagination of a young boy in early 20th century Amsterdam. The collaboration between Frank Groothof and De Kift brings a unique sound to the proceedings, with a mix of humor and heartfelt moments. It’s not just a story; it’s an exploration of childhood dreams and the power of imagination. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it adds to the authenticity of the stage experience. You get a real sense of the atmosphere they tried to evoke, making it quite distinct in the realm of adaptations.
