A whole night with melodies from great musicals with Sweden&#8217;s three greatest musical stars. J\u00f6back has played against Sj\u00f6holm in &#8220;Kristina fr\u00e5n Duvem\u00e5la&#8221;, K\u00f6rberg has played against Sj\u00f6holm in &#8220;Chess&#8221;, but J\u00f6back and K\u00f6rberg have never met on stage before. Here all three meet.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The scene is filled with a huge flow of numbers from well-known and lesser-known American and British musicals, as well as some Swedish.<br \/>\nBallads, duets, show numbers with dancers, mixed and mixed again.<br \/>\n(\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Helen Sj\u00f6holm is the greatest star of the evening with her beautiful voice, her dramatic nerve and her immediate humor.<br \/>\nWhen she does the touching <em>Du m\u00e5ste finnas<\/em> from <em>Kristina from Duvem\u00e5la<\/em>, the whole of Ullevi raises in a standing ovation.<br \/>\nShe is a cheeky Sally Bowles in <em>Cabaret<\/em> and in a sparkling white dress she brings life to <em>Don&#8217;t cry for me Argentina<\/em> from <em>Evita<\/em>. And then a dimmed down and beautiful <em>Bortom sol och m\u00e5ne<\/em> from the small Swedish musical <em>Hj\u00e4lp s\u00f6kes.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tommy K\u00f6rberg runs on power and experience. He skillfully takes care of any song, but of course shines the most in <em>Anthem<\/em> where he gets his standing ovation. In the second act he appears sparingly, but delivers a thrilling, jazzy version of <em>My Favorite Things<\/em> from <em>Sound of Music<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Peter J\u00f6back is the host of the evening, presenting musicals and artists in an easy and pleasant way and, of course, meets the expectations of the audience with <em>The Phantom of the Opera<\/em>. He also sings songs from the long line of musicals he has played in.<\/strong><br \/>\n(\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Helen Sj\u00f6holm was the best.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MUSICAL LIST<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Melodies from the following musicals<\/p>\n<p>\u201dMy Fair Lady\u201d \u2013 medley<br \/>\n\u201dGypsy\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dSweet Charity\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dHair\u201d \u2013 medley<br \/>\n\u201dMiss Saigon\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dWest Side Story\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dKristina from Duvem\u00e5la\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dCity of Angels\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dChess\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201dLife is a Schlager\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dPhantom of the Opera\u201d<br \/>\nKander &amp; Ebb-medley&nbsp;<br \/>\n(\u201dCabaret\u201d, \u201dChicago\u201d, \u201dKiss of the spider woman\u201d)<br \/>\n\u201dEvita\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dLove never dies\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dWicked\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dCandide\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dGuys and Dolls\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dSound of Music\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dHj\u00e4lp s\u00f6kes\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dMoulin Rouge\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dJesus Christ Superstar\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dThe Witches of Eastwick\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dLes Miserables\u201d<br \/>\n\u201dCarousel\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>(Due to copyright reasons the entire review cannot be reproduced)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/helensjoholm.nu\/_eng\/press-clips\/reviews-2017\/\">Back<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Expressen 170618 By: ANDERS BJ\u00d6RKMAN It&#8217;s a big night for musical lovers.
