\nWorld class   <\/strong><\/p>\n

Helen Sj\u00f6holm is amazing as Eliza in a production of \u201cMy fair lady\u201d that does almost everything right. A wonderful musical evening with many high points.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy fair lady\u201d has an great number hit songs. The brilliant Tommy K\u00f6rberg stars as the language professor that makes a bet with his colleague Pickering that he can teach the hideously unarticulated flower girl Eliza to transform into a lady in six months.<\/p>\n

How good is Helen Sj\u00f6holm?
\nHer intense presence made me genuinely happy when Eliza at last gets her vowels in order in \u201cThe rain in Spain\u201d. That is how much Helen Sj\u00f6holm involves her audience. \u201cI could have danced all night\u201d is magical. She is not alone; Pickering, played by Michael Sergerstr\u00f6m is utterly wonderful, very very funny. And then there is Jan Malmsj\u00f6. My god Jan Malmsj\u00f6. He has two showpieces as Elizas father, the drunken garbage man Doolittle, and he turns both of them into musical history. \u201cWith a bit of luck\u201d is all by itself worth the price of the ticket. And that is not all, there is also Monica Nielsen, Anna-Lena Hemstr\u00f6m and Christopher Wollter who easily performs the most beautiful song in the show \u201cOn the street where you live\u201d. There is no end to them. Henrik Dorsin!<\/p>\n

Even the characters hair is well worth their own show. Scenography, costumes, choreography – there is much to se and enjoy. Almost perfect. Sadly the ending is lagging, everything falls asleep.<\/p>\n

The story of two self-centered old men that treats women as something to mold is sadly timeless. Tommy K\u00f6rberg is splendid as the conceited Higgins is the chauvinist of chauvinists. Private theatre with golden lining, a very generous production.<\/p>\n

My Fair Lady  <\/strong>
\n+ + + +  <\/strong>
\nOscars, Stockholm<\/p>\n

Musical directed by Tomas Alfredson with, among others Helen Sj\u00f6holm, Tommy K\u00f6rberg, Michael Segerstr\u00f6m and Jan Malmsj\u00f6<\/p>\n

 +<\/strong> “Jag kunde dansa s\u00e5” (I could dance like that) with Helen Sj\u00f6holm.<\/p>\n

 –<\/strong> Just over three hours is long and the end is verbose.<\/p>\n
