– It turns all other Christmas shows upside down. It’s about taking a new starting point in Christmas music. It looks at Christmas from a slightly different perspective, especially musically. There’s lots of music and humor, Helen tells Aftonbladet, describing the show as a revue.
It will be Christmas with extra everything and a loving, musical fireworks display around the Swedish Christmas song treasure. There will be Christmas songs that are dissected and analyzed. There will be Christmas lyrics to completely different melodies. There will be Christmas carols where we find out what happened after the end of the original text. There will be a showdown with the unstable sugar baker. There will be Christmas plays. There will be Lucia trains. There will be stories about how “Uppå källarbacken” came about. There will be bells ringing from all over the world. There will be 36 classic Christmas songs in three minutes. There will be Rudolf with the red cloud as a newly written, bloated musical. And much, much, much more.
In short, there will be song, music, dance, nonsense and seriousness in a blissful mix. About like a Christmas table with everything from wort bread to marzipan pigs.
Address: Vasagatan 19–21, Stockholm.
