Deivis Norvilas and Sandra Lebrikaitė in the musical comedy "IS AMERICA IN THE SAUNA?!"
About this event
Tired of banalities, cheap jokes, soap opera plots, and computer-generated music?!
Here, the audience will see a sincere, REAL comedy. And an extraordinary one – a musical! "IS AMERICA IN THE SAUNA?!" is the first Lithuanian play brought to life with music and songs, touring successfully through the halls of Lithuanian cities. "Oh, America..." the play's characters will sigh more than once, perfectly understanding themselves that "the grass is always greener on the other side." Here, Lithuanian bath whisks will shatter the mirages of the "promised land" into pieces, and the heat of the sauna will wittily expose the weaknesses of the gullible and the treachery of the selfish. Human vices turned into caricatured characters—greed, stupidity, and pride—will allow us to laugh at the characters (or perhaps even ourselves).
Director Nerijus Petrokas has revived the plot of the classic Lithuanian play with melodies specially arranged by the well-known TV project conductor Vytautas Lukočius. This attractive creative concept is brought to life in Lithuanian venues by stage dynamo Deivis Norvilas, the charming Sandra Lebrikaitė, and the artists of the Kaunas music ensemble "Ainiai."
But what do the question mark and exclamation point in the title of the play mean?
Come and find out for yourself—after all, it's a fresh look at a comedy that has become a classic!
