Duje is in love with beautiful Ane (Severina), daughter of director Vinko (Stefan Kokoškov) who doesn’t want to have anything with Duje because of the old argument between their families. Ana and Duje will have to manage ups and downs, but despite of everything, they won’t give up on their love.

Severina, Goran Karan, Giuliano, Danijela Martinović, Tedi Spalato, Stefan Kokoškov, Mirella Meić and Zorica Bučić are all immpresive singers and actors who will certainly present the authentic well-known Split mentality, humor and the story of forbidden love.

The songs from the musical follow the action of the story, but they can function independently and they were perfectly accepted by radio audience. NAŠA BILA ŠTORIJA

The great potential of the musical immediately caught the attention of the media and the audience, not only in Croatia but also in the entire region. The first single ‘Sta je svit’, a duet by Severina and Goran Karan, immediately won a lot of hearts and in the first week placed directly on the 3rd place on national chart.

Brilliant production takes the listener to another, magical dimension where everything is possible. Without any doubt, we can say that Nenad Šiškov, who made the arrangement of all 17 songs from the musical, exceeded everything that we hear on the radio these days and created a song worthy of Disney fairy tales.

The audience is longing for positive stories which will remind them that love is worth fighting for, and that is exactly what ‘Naša bila štorija' offers. The media from the region closely follow the everything around this musical and eagerly wait it’s next step!
