"Help Wanted" Musical

Hooray!  Benny's back in the show business!   The musical is by Benny Andersson, Kristina Lugn and Lars Rudolfsson and it will be produced at Orion Theatre in Stockholm. Febuary 8th, 2013 will be the premier.  I wonder why Bjorn isn't doing anything...  Maybe he's just not in the mood for anymore musicals....

"The story revolves around two middle-aged farmers who are brothers. According to a press release as they wrestle "with existential issues and the more down to earth questions of housework."  Thanks to the  local press they receive the help of a mother, her daughter and a goat. But then everything goes haywire.
   
 The cast is famous names as Johan Ulveson, Sofia Pekkari, Magnus Roos Mann and Suzanne Berdino. Also involved a number of animals on stage, including two cows. Lars Rudolfsson, which is Orion Theatre's founder and artistic director, is the director.
     Next year is the 30th anniversary Orion Theatre which opened in Stockholm on Södermalm. "
