🎭 This week in Swedish theatre and musical theatre:

💖 Legally Blonde – The Musical has officially opened at Södra Teatern in Stockholm and we were there! A colourful, hilarious and brilliantly performed show, followed by the pinkest premiere party we’ve ever attended. And Samson, playing Rufus, completely stole our hearts! 🐶

🎬 Helen Sjöholm and Nils Reinholtz will lead Sunset Boulevard at Malmö Opera in 2027. The star-studded cast also includes Michael Jansson, Alexandra Fors and Gustav Allen Schriver, with Emma Bucht directing.

🌹 Evita is coming to Dalhalla in August 2027! Ola Salo stars as Che, Johannes Kuhnke as Juan Perón and rising star Amelie Lindström as Eva Perón, in a production blending 1940s Argentina with modern celebrity culture.

🎭 Albert Camus’ Caligula is getting a new production at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern in Stockholm. Directed by Viktor Tjerneld and starring Marcus Vögeli, the play explores absolute power, morality and what happens when both collide.

🚍 After sold-out performances in Gothenburg, Nadim is making history as part of Göteborgs Stadsteater’s first regional tour. The acclaimed play about Nadim Ghazale’s journey from refugee to Swedish police officer has also added three extra performances.

🎬 Leonardo DiCaprio just invested in a Swedish energy company and the business model is genuinely interesting.

Elvy, founded in Sweden in 2023, lets homeowners get solar panels, batteries, and heat pumps through a monthly subscription - no massive upfront installation bill. The idea: make home energy upgrades accessible to people who want them but can’t afford to drop a huge investment all at once💡

The company is growing fast:
→ 2024 revenue: 11.3 million kronor
→ 2025 revenue: multiplied by ten
→ 2026 forecast: between 400 and 500 million kronor 📈

DiCaprio’s investment is part of a 16 million kronor extension to an earlier funding round. Back in May, Elvy raised 70 million kronor from investors, including IKEA heir Mathias Kamprad. The exact amount DiCaprio put in hasn’t been disclosed.

💖 OH MY GOD, you guys! Stockholm has officially gone PINK! 🎀🎭

Yesterday we attended the premiere of Legally Blonde at Södra Teatern and honestly… WHAT A NIGHT! 😭💕

The dress code was all pink, and I’m pretty sure there wasn’t a single place in Stockholm with a higher concentration of pink outfits that evening 😂

🎀 Pink carpet
🍕 Pizza
🧁 Cupcakes
🥂 Bubbles
📸 Photo wall moments
🎭 And, most importantly, a fantastic musical!
And here’s what I especially LOVED:

Legally Blonde is performed entirely in SWEDISH! 🇸🇪

The translation is brilliant, with clever adaptations and references that make the story feel right at home in Sweden.
The cast? AMAZING.
The humour? Absolutely landed.

And the premiere audience? Fully understood the assignment 💅😂

I laughed so much, loved the energy and left the theatre with a huge smile.

A massive thank you for inviting us to the premiere! 🤍

And yes… I’m already thinking about when I can go back. 👀

Have you seen Legally Blonde on stage before? And would you watch it in Swedish? 🎭👇

🇸🇪 Sweden’s most important rivalry: Gothenburg vs Stockholm 😂

Forget politics. Forget football.
We have MUCH more serious matters to discuss.

🌊 West coast vs East coast
🦐 Seafood vs big-city glamour
🚋 Trams vs tunnelbana
😎 Göteborgshumor vs Stockholm attitude

And somehow, both sides are absolutely convinced they’re right 😭

As someone living in Gothenburg, I obviously have no bias whatsoever 👀

So… which side are YOU on? 🍿👇

🎭 This week in Swedish theatre and musical theatre:

⚔️ Spamalot has come to an abrupt end in Malmö. Following the bankruptcy of producer Julius Production AB, all remaining performances at Nöjesteatern have been cancelled. Many freelancers face unpaid wages, while ticket holders may struggle to get refunds.

🎭 Iggy Malmborg has been named the next Artistic Director of Folkteatern Göteborg, succeeding Frida Röhl after nearly 14 years. He officially takes over in January 2028.

🧙‍♀️ Wicked finally has a new premiere date! GöteborgsOperan has confirmed 3 December 2026, following delays with its new stage machinery. The changes also push 1984 and Julefrid? into 2028.

🎭 Har du sett Alice? had its world premiere at Kulturhuset Spira in Jönköping on 10 October. Starring Marie Robertson, the new Swedish drama explores identity, guilt and social expectations, inspired by Småland’s 19th-century famine years.

💕 Pride and Prejudice (Stolthet och fördom) is back at Göteborgs Stadsteater! We saw this production ourselves and absolutely recommend it. A beautiful, witty take on Jane Austen’s classic and there’s an English-subtitled performance on 5 November, making it accessible to even more theatre lovers!

Quite a dramatic week for Swedish theatre, in more ways than one 👀

🏆 Sweden has a new “best municipality to live in” and it’s right next to Göteborg.

Each year, Swedish magazine Fokus ranks all 290 Swedish municipalities on 33 different parameters - economy, jobs, income vs housing prices, safety, nature, services. The average score across Sweden is around 6/10.

This year’s winner: Härryda - a municipality just east of Göteborg, best known as home to Landvetter Airport. Scored 7.58. Last year it was in 27th place. A huge jump 📈

The mayor’s modest explanation: “we don’t have many areas where we’re really bad.”

The top 10 for 2026:
➡️ Härryda
➡️ Täby
➡️ Nacka
➡️ Lomma
➡️ Staffanstorp
➡️ Mölndal
➡️ Danderyd
➡️ Lidingö
➡️ Kävlinge
➡️ Knivsta

Last year’s winner Stockholm has dropped all the way to 44th, largely due to lower safety scores. 😳

So if you were curious where Swedes themselves say it’s best to live - it’s apparently a small place next to a big airport 🇸🇪

🎭 Two weeks since the Grease premiere in Gothenburg and somehow we still haven’t shared some of our favourite shots from that night! 📸✨

Looking through these photos again, I can almost feel that energy.
The music, the atmosphere, the excitement of premiere night… and most importantly, the pure joy of everyone on stage ❤️

Because one of the things I love most about live theatre is watching performers genuinely enjoy what they’re doing.
And trust me, you can SEE it.

For us at @marriedlenses, that’s also what makes theatre photography so special.
Trying to capture those little moments that last only a second, but tell an entire story.

So here’s a little throwback to a night full of music, laughter and some seriously infectious stage energy.
A huge thank you once again for having us at the premiere! 🤍

🎭 Last week in Swedish theatre and musical theatre:

🐶 UPDATE (error on slides) Legally Blonde – The Musical has finally found its four-legged stars! After this summer’s dog auditions, six dogs will alternate as Bruiser (Daisy, Flisan, Frasse, Hugo, Selma och Texas*) and three as Rufus (Coco, Annie, Samson*) when the musical opens at Södra Teatern in Stockholm on 16 October.

⚔️ Spamalot is back in Sweden with an updated production at Nöjesteatern in Malmö. Samuel Fröler leads as King Arthur alongside Kim Sulocki, Anders “Ankan” Johansson, Anki Albertsson and Morgan Alling in Monty Python’s gloriously ridiculous musical comedy.

🎭 After becoming a hit at Soppteatern, Claes och Andreas leker affär is moving to a bigger stage. Claes Eriksson and Andreas T Olsson’s revue reopens at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern’s Lilla scen on 17 October, with some new material added for the extended run.

🎓 Twelve emerging actors, twelve brand-new productions. Third-year acting students at Stockholm University of the Arts are presenting their own solo shows during Departure 2026, a completely free theatre festival running 10–17 October.

👶 And Göteborgs Stadsteater is trying something we love: theatre with babies. Parents can bring their little ones into the auditorium, move around, leave and return and nobody minds if the baby makes noise. The first Teater med bebis features En mycket liten människa on 13 October.
