What is this? 35 00:03:10,365 --> 00:03:15,863 J: It is a musical show. The music is the main focus all the way. 36 00:03:15,863 --> 00:03:25,770 And that involves Alexander's pop music, classical music, folk music and entertainer material mostly. 37 00:03:25,770 --> 00:03:32,032 And we have a big band, so there will be some wind instruments. 38 00:03:32,032 --> 00:03:37,604 There will be girls singing loud and long and do the splits and so on. 39 00:03:37,604 --> 00:03:46,680 So yes, this is a musical entertainer show, but with some humorous elements. 40 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:54,354 A: Because when I watch those tapes from Kjempesjansen with a big band, I get to feel a bit of nostalgia. 41 00:03:54,354 --> 00:03:58,640 So then I had to have such a band this summer. 42 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:08,812 And the three of us on stage, we love that sound with wind instruments, and it will be a bit old fashioned and a bit modern. 43 00:04:08,812 --> 00:04:15,960 A: It will be a mix. We will make a good mix. Host: Big band, choir, dancers. The splits, does it still work? 44 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:21,839 H: We have to practise. J: It still works. I have seen Sofie taking some "break" splits now and then. 45 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,240 H: Sofie takes care of that. S: I will bend between two chairs every night until the premiere. 46 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,751 Host: And the premiere is at Bølgen Culture House in Larvik on July 6. 47 00:04:32,751 --> 00:04:38,738 You heard Alexander Rybak, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen, Sofie Bjerketvedt and director Johan Osuldsen. 48 00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:45,958 There will be fairytale in Bølgen Culture House from 6th of July, and also here in NRK P1 now.
