This profoundly funny and deeply moving musical about childhood pals Thomas and Alvin reunites Minneapolis Musical Theatre cofounders Steven Meerdink and Kevin Hansen on stage for the first time in six years for this area premiere. When the characters' longtime friendship sours, withering with the passage of time, Thomas turns to the only record he has to trace what truly transpired: his own stories of Alvin. Nominated for four 2009 Drama Desk awards, including Outstanding Musical, The Story of My Life is a moving salute to friendship and its power to shape our lives, told with song, melody, wit and insight.

Quotes & Highlights

Watch a short preview video of the show.
"This 'buddy' musical has genuine warmth and charm ... Director Christine Karki smartly resists the temptation to play these scenes with tears and puppy-dog looks ... Meerdink and Hansen treat their characters with kindness and discovery ... seeing them give a genuine and unstinting account of two old friends who recognize the impact they've had on each other was so worth the 90-minute investment." --Star Tribune
"The bonds of friendship run throughout MMT's engaging and moving production. Kevin Hansen and Steven Meerdink completely inhabit their characters ... both bring plenty of shades to characters that could have remained stock. The show embraces what brought them together and spins that into a universal tale." --City Pages
"Kevin Hansen and Steven Meerdink are a great pairing ... playing their roles as children and as adults with perfect ease, capturing the humor and heartbreak that comes with any long-term relationship. The tight-knit friendship at the heart of this show is palpable and heartfelt. A simple and moving story." --Twin Cities Metro
