Understudies Save the Show in Malmö Arena | Backstage Musical Tour Chaos

🎭 Backstage mayhem meets last-show madness in MALMÖ ARENA — understudies fly in, actors drop out, and the show must go on… somehow. This is theatre chaos at its finest. 👇

The final performance in Malmö was already wild — we were packing up costumes during the show to prep for the move to Gothenburg 🚛👗. But THEN… Lindy Larsson lost his voice 😱 and Per called out sick before the matinée 🤧. Suddenly, all plans were thrown out the stage door.

Enter: the understudies.

Tord, usually playing the priest, stepped in for Per. But with Lindy out, Denny — who normally plays the Laser — had to take Lindy’s role. Great! Problem solved? Not quite.

Turns out Tord is also the understudy for the lawyer, meaning he’d need to be in two places at once. Theatre magic has limits… 💀

SOLUTION? Jonas, an actor who usually understudies the farmer Axel, is thrown into the lawyer role. He goes on unrehearsed, saves the day, and the audience never suspects a thing. THAT is what we call a theatrical miracle 💫👏

In the middle of this glorious chaos, I’m running around backstage (as usual), packing costumes mid-show, prepping to move the whole production to Gothenburg the next morning. Time is tight, people are tired, but the vibe is ✨UNMATCHED✨.

We’re staying at the lovely @bestwesternmalmoarenahotel, directly above the arena. I’ve got the best view in Malmö 🌆 (Turning Torso, Copenhagen, and the Öresund Bridge!). The vegan food is incredible, staff are absolute stars, and I feel so taken care of 🫶

Massive thanks to our incredible team at @krall_entertainment – especially Tobias Eliasson, Andrea Krall & Sophia Stolpe – for making this touring experience smooth and glamorous even when chaos hits 🌪️
