FROM BROADWAY TO DUVEMÅLA is Sweden's most popular musical show and one of the definite highlights of the year for all musical enthusiasts! Here, powerful voices and strong emotions collide in a string of the most beloved hits from the world's greatest musicals – all performed by some of our absolute best and most accomplished musical artists.
The show, described by the press as "the Diggiloo of musicals," embarks on an extensive tour throughout Sweden this fall. Just like in previous seasons, the audience will be treated to an entirely new world-class ensemble and updated music from iconic musicals such as "The Phantom of the Opera," "Evita," "Kristina from Duvemåla," "West Side Story," "Chess," "Cats," "Les Misérables," and many more.
This year's tour features John Martin Bengtsson, Emmi Christensson*, Martin Redhe Nord, Linda Pritchard, Viktoria Tocca*, and Malena Tuvung. The orchestra is, as usual, led by conductor Carina E. Nilsson.
* Emmi Christensson and Viktoria Tocca alternate during this year's Sweden tour, and in Skellefteå, it is Viktoria who will be performing.
