“DEN MUSIKALSKE REJSE”

The idea of. this show and the start of this, happened in the fall of 2020 and quickly became a success.

But it got harder and harder to get around with this and we had to put it on hold until September / October 2021, when we started it up in Sweden and to great success there.

We are very much looking forward to, of course together with some of our fantastic singers and musicians again, getting around in 2024/2025 - and with a completely new set-up.
