What if…an Iconic Transformation Begins?

This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, a true hidden gem taken on November 16, 2023. It captures the multi-talented actress, singer, and entertainer Sanna Nielsen during a fitting for her role as Rut in the show. It was a special, secretive day, as she was preparing to take over this role from the equally incredible Helen Sjöholm, who was leaving to star in *Company* at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern. This early fitting wasn’t for her official debut but rather an upcoming photoshoot—an early glimpse of her transformation into Rut. It’s amazing how even then, Sanna’s dedication to each detail shone through.  

 In the photo, you’ll notice the length of Sanna’s dress is asymmetrical, shorter on one side. This detail is intentional: it’s the final length for the production but hadn’t yet been adjusted on both sides. The combination of makeup, glasses, wig, and costume gave her a fresh energy, and seeing her in character was thrilling. We were all waiting to see how she would bring her own twist to Rut, yet with the same heart and spirit Helen brought to the role. There was a quiet excitement in the air as she tried on each piece, knowing this moment was setting the stage for something big. 


This photo is more than just a fitting image; it’s a snapshot of creative transition and a new chapter. It reminds me how each performer adds their unique magic to a role, breathing life into it in a new way every time. I still remember the buzz backstage, how everyone wanted to sneak a look while keeping it all under wraps—Sanna’s official debut was months away, but already, she was ready to take on the role with full force.


Looking at this now, I’m struck by how such moments are a bridge between past and future, capturing memories and potential in one. It’s a nostalgic throwback and a reminder of the artistry, precision, and pure joy that come with every show, every role, and every new beginning in theatre. 


Can you feel the magic of a transformation?
