In April 2001, the musical Miffy started, which will tour the theaters in the country for a number of months. The cartoon character Miffy is the brainchild of illustrator Dick Bruna and has been extremely popular for years. The Miffy books and merchandise are available almost worldwide, just like the other popular Dutch cartoon character Frog. Ivo de Wijs wrote 16 children's songs about Miffy, her
… father and mother Pluis, her grandmother and the two friends Aagje and Nina to music by Joop Stokkermans. The storyline has been kept simple - after all, it is a musical for the real little ones - and is about Miffy's daily things: on the bike, looking for the teddy bear, dressing up, on the beach and going to sleep, in short, all the important things in the life of a toddler. A karaoke version of all songs has been added so that the little ones can sing the songs themselves. (BP)more
