For the fourth summer in a row, Musikalkväll (Musical Night) is being staged with Emmi Christensson and Peter Johansson on several open air theatres around Sweden. An evening where classic musical songs are mixed with newer ones, Swedish and English and maybe something that is not musical at all.
Peter Johansson and Emmi Christensson on summer tour in Sweden to celebraite their favourite musicals
For the eighth year the concert From Broadway to Duvemåla goes on tour with musical songs in Sweden. On stage this year we see Malena Tuvung, Emmi Christensson (played Christine in Phantom of the Opera in West End) and John Martin Bengtsson (played Phantom in Phantom of the opera in Copenhagen, Kristianstad and Stockholm) again and for the first time Linda Pritchard and Martin Redhe Nordh joins the team.

When Viktoria Tocca moved back to Sweden some years ago she decided that she wanted to set up a musical concert. She rented the concert hall, Berwaldhallen, home for the Swedish Radio symphony orchestra and asked some friends and colleagues to join. It was the start of the tour around Sweden, which is now in the sixth season. Every season, she asked a few musical artists to join in, and even if Sweden is a small country there is quite a few good musical artists to choose between. This season, Viktoria has a new 'baby', the Bridges of Madison County ' which she both produce and plays the female lead role Franseca in. When it comes to the concert tour 'From Broadway to Duvemala', she only do some guest appearance, as tonight in Stockholm, Her baby has grown big and manages herself.
Tonight was the opening night of Peter Jöbacks show 'Med hjartat som insats' (With the heart at stake). And as with an opening night champagne was served and the Swedish celebrities such as Bjorn Ulveaus, Tommy Korberg, Sarah Dawn Finer and Emmi Christensson (She played Christine with Peter in Phantom of the opera in Stockholm) was there. This was one of the main event for the season to attend.
Romance that began as a one-off when singer Viktoria Tocca set it up at the Berwaldhallen in Stockholm in spring of 2016, which continued as a tour around Sweden is now entering its sixth season this fall. Interest in the show has been very large with sold out houses, standing ovations, spontaneous dancing in the crowd and brilliant reviews of an ensemble with a solid track record. See the tour schedule below.
In 2014 the musical A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder won 4 Tony awards of which one was for the best musical. It won in contest with musicals like Aladdin and Beautiful - the Carol King Musical. As I seen both of them and really liked them. I had quite high expectations on 'Gentlemannen' as it is called in Swedish when I saw the dress rehearsal the 24th of January at Oscars Theatre in Stockholm.
Förra hösten fick jag möjligheten att intervjua Peter Jöback, som spelar Fantomen (The Phantom) i den svenska uppsattningen av The Phantom Of The Opera i Stockholm. The Phantom Of The Opera kommer att spela sin sista förestallning 14 Maj.
Interviewed with Anton Zetterholm, who currently plays the role of Raoul Vicomte de Chagny in the 2016 Swedish production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's iconic 'THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA' is one of the most successful pieces of theatre and entertainment of all time and continues to captivate audiences all over the world. The first Swedish production in the late 80's was a huge success so this revival was very anticipated by the old and the new generations of Swedish theatre-goers. I heard someone in the audience say that it was like visiting an old friend after almost 30 years.
The Swedish production of THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA had their press day in Stockholm yesterday where they previewed three scenes from the show. Broadwayworld Sweden were there to cover it!
