Review: A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC at Nationaltheatret
by Christian Ranke - September 11, 2025
Staging A Little Night Music is always an ambitious undertaking. Stephen Sondheim’s musical is a delicate blend of wit, melancholy, romance, and irony, requiring both vocal sophistication and razor-sharp acting. This new production embraces the challenge with admirable flair, even if its reach occasionally exceeds its grasp.

Review: NEXT TO NORMAL at Nye Hjorten Teater
by Christian Ranke - September 01, 2025
Some musicals want to sweep you away. Next to Normal wants to hold you still and make you feel. It doesn’t rely on spectacle or offer neat resolutions—it digs into grief, love, and mental illness with raw honesty, and still leaves room for hope. That’s why this Pulitzer- and Tony-winning rock musical still matters today: it proves that the stage can be both unflinching and deeply human. I’m very pleased that the newly founded Nye Hjorten Teater dares to bring this complex piece of art to the stage as their first big musical, rather than choosing something safer like Mamma Mia!. It’s a gamble that deserves to be experienced.
