Tur-retur Stavanger* (Roundtrip Stavanger)

At the website of Rogaland Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Tur-retur Stavanger* (Roundtrip Stavanger):

"Sound and light. Colours and grand effects. Music and drama. For a little girl, everything in the theatre was exciting, and from her childhood, Mareike knew that she belonged onstage.

She learned songs by heart, whole plays too, and felt a burning desire for a life onstage, where she could express herself while giving of herself to other people.

Today, Mareike Wang is a critically acclaimed actress and artist, who has made her mark within several different artistic genres. She has now joined forces with her childhood friend Håkon Berge, as musical arranger, and with musician from SSO, and together they will pay tribute to a both beloved and derided genre, the musical.

With bubbly energy and joy in sharing a story, Mareike opens her artist life for the audience, from she was a little girl with a big dream, until she is an established performing artist. For Mareike, the alternatives were West End in London and Rogaland Theatre in Stavanger. The choice was a roundtrip to and from Stavanger.

Mareike Wang has, with Håkon Berge and SSO, gone hunting in the treasure chest of musicals, and is now ready to give Stavanger audiences a journey through musical classics, spiced up with some unknown gems from the genre."
