Going on Tour with the Theatre Crew: From Stockholm to Malmö | Hotel Upgrade + G&Ts!

The tour has officially begun and this video is packed with hilarious moments, behind-the-scenes crew energy, and a surprise hotel upgrade you’ll want to see!

Join me as I travel with the cast and crew of our musical from Stockholm to Malmö for the first leg of our post-Stockholm theatre tour! I’m Joakim, a dresser and costume supervisor living in Midsommarkransen, and in this video, you’ll get a proper taste of what it’s like going on tour with a show after two successful years in the capital. 🎭🧳

The adventure begins at Stockholm Central Station where I hop on the train with the best gang in showbiz:

🎩 Simon – Stage Manager

🎭 Felicia – Props Master

🎧 Gustav – Sound Engineer

💄 David – Makeup Artist

🎬 Lukas – Crew Support

We glide through the Swedish countryside until we arrive in Malmö. Then it’s a swift change in Hyllie and a glamorous stroll past Emporia Mall to our lodgings—the Malmö Arena Hotel.

✨ AND THEN—THE TWIST! ✨

I’ve been given a room on the 12th floor. Yes, twelfth. TWELFTH! While David fumes with envy (and not just from the train wine), I dash up to the Skybar for a cheeky beer with him and Johanna (who had the audacity to arrive earlier). 🍻🌆 When the bar closes, we shift to David’s room for gin & tonics (conveniently close to an ice machine—how very him). 🍸💫

Back in my room, I unpack my “not basic but iconic” tour wardrobe and gaze over Malmö’s night lights like a brooding novelist from the ‘20s. 🧥📓🕺

📸 What if Your First iPhone Photo Was Pure Backstage Chaos?

Ever scroll all the way back in your camera roll? 🌀 This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, snapped on 15 februari 2025 inside the costume shop at the theatre where I’ve worked since 2008 🎭. Fourteen shows later… and this messy little moment still makes me smile 😅.

I'm in full chaotic fashion mode:

🐆 Leopard print beanie from Giambattista Valli x H&M

🧣 Baby blue + beige H&M Studio scarf

🎨 White sweatshirt from the Basquiat x H&M collab

👖 Brown faux leather trousers

👟 White chunky sole trainers from Eytys x H&M

 The costume shop behind me? A glorious mess of wigs, garments, steamers, and secrets 🤫. It’s not always this wild… or maybe it is 👀.

Here’s the truth: I’m not a great tailor 🙃 — but luckily, being a dresser is more about being fast, creative, and knowing how to mend anything with one eye closed and a coffee in hand ☕🪡. And that, my friend, I am good at 💪🏼.

This pic is cluttered, real, and 100% me: working, thriving, and wearing five fashion collabs at once 😆. Proof that inspiration doesn’t need to be polished. Sometimes, it’s just... backstage chaos caught in the flash 📸✨.

A Day in My Life: Theatre, Midori Cocktails, and a Surprising Noodle Hac...

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a Swedish theatre content creator looks like? 🎭🇸🇪 From editing videos and uploading nostalgic iPhone photos to mixing Midori cocktails and cooking up surprisingly good meals — this vlog has it all!

📱 My day starts with editing yesterday’s Instagram stories, syncing the video across all my social media outlets (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts), and uploading a nostalgic gem — the oldest photo on my iPhone. I share it, then erase it from my phone, making space for fresh memories 📸✨.

🚴‍♂️ Then it’s time to bike to ICA at Liljeholmstorgets Galleria for vegan groceries. Lucky me, instant noodles and tomatoes are on SALE! 🍜🍅 I get curious: Can you combine them into something tasty? (Spoiler alert: You absolutely can!)

🧳 Back home, it’s suitcase time. We’re heading out on tour soon, so I pull my giant silver Samsonite from under the bed. It’s dusty — like desert-level dusty. Cue the pre-tour chaos! 🎭🌍

🍸 Since it's May, my friend Magnus and I celebrate what we call MayDori — a month of Midori-based cocktails. Today’s star: the JAPANESE SLIPPER 💚 (1 part Midori, 1 part Cointreau, 1 part lemon juice). I FaceTime Magnus and he’s created an Emerald Isle cocktail, and even gone a step further — writing TWO Midori-themed songs on Suno.com 🎶✨.

🥂 Naturally, I try an Emerald Isle myself. Spoiler: it’s AMAZING. And speaking of surprising culinary wins, I mix those instant noodles with chopped tomatoes... and it’s a game-changer. Who knew simple ingredients could spark such joy?

🎵 Finally, I relax with the AI-enhanced Paper Mill Playhouse production of Crazy For You. A perfect ending for a theatre-loving soul like me.

🏡 I live in Midsommarkransen, a suburb of Stockholm, and work as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre. I create daily content about backstage life, style, vegan food, and everyday creativity.

VEGAN PIZZA FROM 7-ELEVEN (AND SOME WORK).MOV

190503-02 NO ONE CARES, BUT WHICH WAS THE FIRST MUSICAL YOU SAW?

190503-02 At Oscars Theatre, in Stockholm Sweden, I go around asking the cast and crew which musical was the first the ever saw. The answers are riveting, and som causes more questions.
