Perfectly chosen leads; Tommy K\u00f6rberg from old Chess and Anders Ekborg and Helen Sj\u00f6holm from Kristina fr\u00e5n Duvem\u00e5la.

She has three or four ballads that makes the audience applaud so much that the cast has to wait for them to stop before they can continue. No matter who she sings with, or to, it is like clockwork. Duvem\u00e5la was a breakthrough but this part is ten times harder to carry and she manage without the least hesitation and show that she will be our leading lady for years to come\u201d.<br \/>\n<i>Lars Ericson, Sundsvalls Tidning feb. 25 2002<\/i><\/p>\n<p><strong>On October 28 2002<\/strong> Bj\u00f6rn &amp; Benny and all the soloists except Tommy went to \u00c5hl\u00e9ns department store in Stockholm to sign the CD-box that was released the same day.
