Så som i himmelen

The original production of the musical Så som i himmelen was an enormous success. Over 220,000 people saw the acclaimed musical at Oscarsteatern across four seasons!

Since then, the musical has enjoyed great success at more than 30 venues across Europe.

This autumn, a truly unique version will be staged at Lorensbergsteatern, created by the team behind the original.

Så som i himmelen is a powerful and uplifting musical about the power of music, the courage to be yourself and what happens when people dare to connect with one another on a deeper level.

When world-famous conductor Daniel Daréus (Philip Jalmelid) suffers a breakdown, he returns to his childhood village to find peace and quiet.

There he meets the villagers, each with their own dreams, fears and life stories.

The charming Lena (Tuva Børgedotter Larsen), the parish’s conservative vicar Stig (Christopher Wollter), his life-affirming wife Inger (Åsa Fång) and Gabriella’s jealous husband Conny (Robin Stegmar).

The members of the church choir are a diverse group, including the energetic village shopkeeper Arne (Peter Apelgren), the beautiful-voiced Gabriella (Sanna Nielsen), Holmfrid (Henric Joneskär), Olga (Kajsa Reingardt), Tore (Rikard Björk) and others.

Daniel reluctantly takes over as choirmaster, but through music, something comes to life, both within him and in those around him.

As the choir’s sound grows, the relationships between the villagers also change.

Love, jealousy, power and reconciliation are set against one another in a story where the bonds of community are put to the test and every voice counts.

With strong characters, moving music and a deeply human theme, Så som i himmelen is a musical that touches you profoundly – a story about daring to listen, daring to feel and daring to sing in your own voice.

The hit musical runs throughout the autumn, until 12 December, at Lorensbergsteatern in Gothenburg.
