The musical "Life behind the window" originated from a staff meeting at Teatteri Imatra. When theater manager Timo Rissanen was lured to write the script for Eppu Nuotion's new musical, all the pieces fell into place.

In the spring, the premiere of the musical Life behind the window will be held at Teatteri Imatra. The musical is based on Gösta Sundqvist and to the music of Leevi and the Leavings.

Musical director, theater director Timo Rissanen promises that there will be a comprehensive experience.

The main characters of the story are familiar characters: Marja-Leena, Miss Nieminen, a boy named Päivi and a man in woolen pants.

- Those people are everyday heroes. It's easy to identify with them, says Rissanen.

Watch the video to see what else Rissanen tells about the story of the musical and how the songs loved by Finns ended up being the subject of the musical.
