Host: Ten years ago he won Kjempesjansen on NRK.

Later he has been awarded with the 
"Spellemann Award", the Hedda award,

and not least victory in Eurovision Song 
Contest with the highest score ever.

Now he celebrates ten years as an artist, and he does that with a tremendous show at Bølgen Culture House in Larvik.

Then it's only appropiate to congratulate 
for the ten years, Alexander Rybak.

A: Thank you so much, I am very happy 
about being able to make a proper celebration.

Host: When you look 10 years back
in time, to Kjempesjansen,

when you stood there, did you dare 
to hope for all what you've experienced?

A: I didn't think much about the 
extent of it and the amount of CDs sold.

What I hoped for was to make as many 
people happy as possible with my music.

I enjoy recording songs, but being on stage and performing, that's what I love. That's what I like the most.

Host: You've done that bigtime.
A: Yes, lots of times. I'm very privileged.

R: Then there'll be a grand, enormous celebration in Larvik this summer
A: Yes, at Bølgen .

A: I'm extra privileged this year having Sofie and Heidi join me.

Who have been picked from the first shelf.
No, how do we say it? Hand picked.

Fantastic women that have joined you, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen and Sofie Bjerketvedt, welcome to you, too.

The two of you have performed in various musicals 
at different places. But now it will be fairytale.

S&H: Now it will be fairytale, we answer in sync.

S: We're Siamese twins, one blonde and one dark haired.
H: He just had to involve both of us.

Host: But what's it like being part of this?

S: It's a real treat and very nice. We have
only just begun, so it's very exciting,

We have lots of plans and we hope to do just 
as well as we do now, both on stage and off.

A: The sky is the limit here, we have 
talked about everything we can do.

I have seen what Sofie and Heidi do 
and can do. It will be very versatile.

H: It's a bit fun... My first theatre job and also your first theatre job we did together.
A: Was that your first?

H: It was my first one. "Fiddler on the Roof" ten years ago.

H: Alexander had just won Kjempesjansen.
A: Yes, right after Kjempesjansen

H: I actually played a bit of violin together with you. Do you remember that?
A: Yes, that's why I really hoped Heidi would join me in.

H: It's fun being able to work together again.
A: I think so, too.

We'll be a nice trio, and as 
mentioned before it's the versatility,

which is the most important 
thing to me when I perform.

These two girls here enjoy making people both 
cry and laugh, and being impressive.

Host: But then there is... what kind of show is this?

It's probably best to ask the director who will 
keep all three of them on a tight leash. What is this?

J: It is a musical show. The music 
is the main focus all the way.

And that involves Alexander's pop music, classical music, 
folk music and entertainer material mostly.

And we have a big band, so there 
will be some wind instruments.

There will be girls singing loud and 
long and do the splits and so on.

So yes, this is a musical entertainer show, 
but with some humorous elements.

A: Because when I watch those tapes from 
Kjempesjansen with a big band, I get to feel a bit of nostalgia.

So then I had to have such a band this summer.

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.

A: It will be a mix. We will make a good mix. 
Host: Big band, choir, dancers. The splits, does it still work?

H: We have to practise. 
J: It still works. I have seen Sofie taking some "break" splits now and then.

H: Sofie takes care of that.
S: I will bend between two chairs every night until the premiere.

Host: And the premiere is at Bølgen Culture House in Larvik on July 6.

You heard Alexander Rybak, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen, 
Sofie Bjerketvedt and director Johan Osuldsen.

There will be fairytale in Bølgen Culture House 
from 6th of July, and also here in NRK P1 now.
