That's what I like the most. 00:01:03.367 --> 00:01:07.772 Host: You've done that bigtime. A: Yes, lots of times.

No, how do we say it? Hand picked. 00:01:26.450 --> 00:01:32.752 Fantastic women that have joined you, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen and Sofie Bjerketvedt, welcome to you, too. 00:01:32.752 --> 00:01:38.564 The two of you have performed in various musicals at different places.

H: He just had to involve both of us. 00:01:48.716 --> 00:01:50.722 Host: But what's it like being part of this? 00:01:50.722 --> 00:01:57.666 S: It's a real treat and very nice. We have only just begun, so it's very exciting, 00:01:57.666 --> 00:02:05.766 We have lots of plans and we hope to do just as well as we do now, both on stage and off. 00:02:05.766 --> 00:02:10.011 A: The sky is the limit here, we have talked about everything we can do. 00:02:10.011 --> 00:02:17.541 I have seen what Sofie and Heidi do and can do. It will be very versatile. 00:02:17.541 --> 00:02:23.180 H: It's a bit fun... My first theatre job and also your first theatre job we did together. A: Was that your first? 00:02:23.180 --> 00:02:25.960 H: It was my first one. "Fiddler on the Roof" ten years ago. 00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:29.610 H: Alexander had just won Kjempesjansen. A: Yes, right after Kjempesjansen 00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:37.942 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. 00:02:37.942 --> 00:02:44.047 H: It's fun being able to work together again. A: I think so, too. 00:02:44.047 --> 00:02:48.175 We'll be a nice trio, and as mentioned before it's the versatility, 00:02:48.175 --> 00:02:52.055 which is the most important thing to me when I perform. 00:02:52.055 --> 00:03:01.004 These two girls here enjoy making people both cry and laugh, and being impressive. 00:03:01.004 --> 00:03:04.305 Host: But then there is... what kind of show is this? 00:03:04.305 --> 00:03:10.365 It's probably best to ask the director who will keep all three of them on a tight leash. What is this? 00:03:10.365 --> 00:03:15.863 J: It is a musical show. The music is the main focus all the way. 00:03:15.863 --> 00:03:25.770 And that involves Alexander's pop music, classical music, folk music and entertainer material mostly. 00:03:25.770 --> 00:03:32.032 And we have a big band, so there will be some wind instruments. 00:03:32.032 --> 00:03:37.604 There will be girls singing loud and long and do the splits and so on. 00:03:37.604 --> 00:03:46.680 So yes, this is a musical entertainer show, but with some humorous elements. 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. 00:03:54.354 --> 00:03:58.640 So then I had to have such a band this summer. 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. 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? 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. 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. 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:32.751 Host: And the premiere is at Bølgen Culture House in Larvik on July 6. 00:04:32.751 --> 00:04:38.738 You heard Alexander Rybak, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen, Sofie Bjerketvedt and director Johan Osuldsen. 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.
