Mr Sag is actually being playing against type and plays the boring structured accountant type who ends up - through a mistake - in hell and probably manages to bring hell to the verge of implosion by stuffing order into where chaos is supposed to reign.

I once saw it on TV in fact, many many years ago, and I loved it. Yes, it`s a simple idea (bad guy ending up in heaven, boring guy ending up in hell; one falling for an angel, the other for the devil), but it was so much fun to watch it on TV.
So I hope the reprise of that now will be good as well, different nuances I guess. but it sounded like fun.

I think the bad guy (who ends up in heaven) sings the english songs, and the boring one the german ones.

Well, heaven is being supervised by ANGELINA
hell by MEPHISTA

now two men die and get transported there.

One JONATHAN DIVER apparently being a bad guy
the other JOHANNES TÄUFER being a boring accountant or something like it.

(actually JOhannes Täufer is the exact translation of Jonathan Diver into German. lol)

Jonathan Diver, bad guy, SHOULD go to hell (bad guy, right?) but ends up in heaven (computer mistake)

Johannes täufer, should go to heaven (Though I find that disputable, why should haven get all the boringness?) but ends up in hell.

Coincidentally I was just listening to an interview of the creator and director, and the question was asked if he believed in an "after"; he did not absolutely answered the question, but expressed how he would like to believe (but apparently doesn`t) and how sad it was to see how his grandmother who had been religious her whole life, turned away from that (did not even ask for a priest), when she was nearing death 2 years ago.
It of course made me think of my own grandmother who also died 2 years ago, I don´t know if she really was ever religious. But she certainly believed in my grandfather waiting for her on the other side.
She frequently asked me when he would be coming for her so they could be together again.
I sensed she was nearing her passage when she started to tell me she had seen him and talked to him (not sure if she believed that was a dream or not).
And I KNEW when I was dreaming of him one night and he was telling me that it was time for my grandmother to pass over. Whichw as just maybe 2 weeks before she did.

Anyway, so the director seems to have had different experiences and observations, but I also think he might WANT to believe in something, but since he does not know and does not quite believe, he said to focus on THIS life, the here and now.

Well I actually agree with him, but for different reasons. Not because i believe there will be nothing,b ut because I know that EVERY life is unique, no matter if we only live once or multiple times. Even if or when we return, our life will be a different one then. So somehow the conclusion for me is the same, I guess. lol

But the musical is meant to be funny mostly, but also showing how stupid it is to put people into categories and boxes. Being bad or good is also a much too broad category, people are more multilayered than being black or white.
