THE CURSE OF THE UNDERSTUDY: OUR LEAD IS OUT & MY NEW GAME IS DRIVING EV...


WAS THE UNDERSTUDY'S PERFORMANCE A GLORIOUS TRIUMPH OR A TOTAL DISASTER? You won't believe the backstage chaos this week! 🤯


Hello, my dear friends, and welcome to the last hurrah of the performance week. Sunday is always a bittersweet day at the theatre—we're tired, but the energy of the final audience is a high like no other. This particular Sunday, however, was less "sweet" and more "utterly unhinged." Buckle up, because we have a lot to unpack. 📦

I promise you the complete, unedited look at a day where the drama wasn’t just on the stage, but in every single corner of the building. We're talking unexpected casting changes, a brand new (and utterly ridiculous) game, and the heartbreaking end of a local legend. You'll feel every dizzying high and every emotional low right along with us. It’s a moment of connection that reminds us all that even in the most structured environments, life insists on being beautifully, chaotically human.


The first bombshell dropped right before the house opened: our incredible lead, Per Svensson, was officially out with a debilitating sore throat. A disaster, no? Well, maybe not entirely. Our dedicated understudy, the magnificent Andreas Andersson, stepped in. I captured the frantic, inspiring moments of him preparing to own the stage. Watching someone conquer that kind of pressure is genuinely breathtaking, and I want you to share in that pride. 👏

To ease the backstage jitters (mostly my own, let's be honest), I decided to invent an impromptu, highly intellectual parlor game: "BORN OR DEAD." I threw out names of famous and infamous figures and challenged the cast and crew to guess if they were born or died on this day. The results were scandalous and hilarious! You get to see their best guesses and the ensuing arguments about historical trivia. It was all a bit mad, but a much-needed burst of theatrical silliness. 😂


But the real gut-punch of the day was something happening just outside the theatre doors. Grosshandlarn, the beloved little shop opposite our entrance that has been a comforting fixture for 35 long years, is closing down. The villain? An outrageous rent hike. It’s a genuine heartbreak. Losing an institution like that is a profound loss for the community, and it's a sobering reminder of how fleeting everything can be. We took a moment to reflect on what Grosshandlarn meant to us—grab your tissues for that part. 😭


The good news, however, arrived in the form of a buzzing rehearsal. My dear friend Martin and his team for the spectacular production NEXT TO NORMAL were using our space for their rehearsals. It was inspiring to see a new show come to life! Martin, who is absolutely a genius when it comes to all things digital, is also running their social media, which means a truly delicious mix of artistic temperament and clever marketing swagger. I got a little exclusive peek at their process! 🎤✨


So, this video isn't just a vlog; it's a chronicle of a day filled with dramatic swings. It's about resilience, community, the heartbreak of change, and a lot of very funny guesses about dead celebrities. Hit that like button if you’ve ever had to push through a day that felt totally chaotic! 💖 Don't forget to subscribe and ring that notification bell so you don't miss the next time our little theatre world goes wonderfully, dramatically off-script! 🛎️
