Review: UNFORTUNATE, THE UNTOLD STORY OF URSULA THE SEA WITCH at ÖstgötateaternSeptember 22, 2025I just love how Östgöta Theatre dares to take on musicals that have not been performed in the Nordic countries before. This year they have really managed to find a musical that not many people knew about before and that has only been performed in the UK. The premiere was in 2019 at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Then it was played briefly in London and was on a UK Tour and now at Östgöta Theatre. Big kudos to whoever found it and made sure it was staged. Because it is an absolutely wonderful, crazy musical parody!

Review: JOYRIDE THE MUSICAL at China TeaternSeptember 12, 2025Just over a year ago, Joyride the musical had its world premiere at Malmö Opera on a sunny and warm September day.
