In the spring program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2001 the following, among other things, is written about Road to Heaven by The Young@Heart Chorus:

"Road to Heaven is staged and directed in collaboration with Faudree and No Theatre. The Young@Heart Chorus now consists of 20-30 artists, with an average age of approximately 75 years. The company members travel the world with a herd of nursing personnel, and play for full houses everywhere. With a couple of generations of experience and background from music, dance and/or acting, that is, some of the members didn't put a foot onstage prior to the age of 80. (...)

This performance, or cult opera, if one likes, wreaks havoc with the audience's (literally) geriatric stereotypes and prejudice. Questions about lived life and the all too near final rest are presented with touching humour and wisdom. (...)

With a musical repertoire consisting of punk, classic rock and songs from Talking Heads and The Rolling Stones, among others."
