Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for music lovers and anyone looking to switch off and smile. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of Tommy or High Society should feel right at home.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 59 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Swedish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1954: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.

Marianne is a dancer at the Lilla Teatern. The theatre has financial troubles and its existence is under threat. Marianne falls in love with Stig Broman, the owner of the theatre. After a few problems, the actors manage to set up a show, with Marianne as leading lady, which will decide the fate of the theatre.
