Regard en Coulisse

"Leur jeu est impeccable, leur interprétation naturelle et l’ensemble parfois criant de vérité… une mise en scène originale, parfois interactive, qui sert les nombreux passages de comédie et conforte le réalisme des scènes."
An immersive experience…
Patrick NIEDO

Le jeu formidable des acteurs, paumés quelquefois, sûrs d’eux d’autres fois mais toujours fragiles, nous fait penser que la vie n’est pas faite d’une seule solution miracle. Les choix ne peuvent être que temporaires, en attendant d’autres options qui se présenteront forcément à eux, à nous… Car Next Thing You Know parle un peu de nous aussi…

La mise en scène est inventive et intelligente.
Musical Theatre Review

Off-Broadway is taking Paris by storm, thanks to the effort of American Musical Theatre Live! Paris. 

Tolgay Pekin’s direction is cleverly designed to make the process so natural that the audience actually gets the wonderful feeling that they are living in the actual musical, mixing pop with the musical theatre style. Some songs, like ‘Morning After Omelet’, ‘Don’t Say Another Word’, ‘Hungover’ and the title song really stick in your mind and resonate with funny real-life situations.
 
L’Oeil d’Olivier 

Next Thing you Know vaut surtout par l’énergie, le charme et le talent de ses interprètes.

Le charme indéniable de ce spectacle vient d’ailleurs. La présence scénique de nos quatre interprètes en est le cœur.

La proximité entre les chanteurs et le public, donnant l’impression d’être un confident privilégié de nos quatre trentenaires, est un autre atout charme de ce gentil spectacle sans prétention.

Un bon conseil, n’hésitez pas à pousser les portes du Highlander Pub Bar pour une soirée entre « amis Â», vous ne serez pas déçu…

ROLES
(All characters are in their late 20s/early 30s)
 
Waverly - An actress who tends bar to make ends meet. Has struggled to build a career for herself as a performer since arriving in the city. Now has a non-performing day-job she loves, and a man she adores – but when they both look for her to move to the next level, it scares her to death. Must be able to improvise comfortably in English.
(Belter up to F5)

Darren - A brooding and talented yet charming writer who dreams of settling down, while still pursuing his artistic endeavors. Thoughtful and loving guy, but at times very self-involved and distracted. Struggles to balance the life he wants with the woman he loves. Must be able to improvise comfortably in English.
(Baritone with falsetto)

Lisa - An aspiring singer who tends bar alongside her best friend, Waverly. She is ready to make some big changes in her life. Disappointed that she hasn't yet met the woman of her dreams, she considers moving to California to pursue her music. Must be able to improvise comfortably in English.
(Legit/Belter)

Luke - A charismatic playboy who has everything he could ever want, but has a lot of growing up to do. A man-child, he has no intention of settling down – until a woman sneaks into his heart, and he's forced to decide between the dreams of a young cad and the life of a man.
(Tenor up to C#)
