"Bloody Mary and

This was NOK a Norwegian version of a foreign musical. This time

locked behind bars, "and that was where she ended her last days: In this
piece ends is not so terrible as the reality and that in the original

Welcome dear audience stood in the program booklet that was
handed out to the crowd when the guys in the Prima Vera had performance on
ABC revue theater in 1982. We are very happy and quite a little surprised
that you have come here to attend the evening's performance here at the
alphabet theater. Considering that the evening's executive artists
exclusively consists of securing prisoners who are hand picked and
discreetly shipped to Norway from the world's most heavily guarded prisons.
But by all means! Do not let this put a damper on the evening. Prisoners
(artists) are basically relatively sympathetic people as long as we treat
them accordingly. Profanity and the lack of applause and laughter from the
audience is tolerating the rest do not. Should the unlikely event such a
situation arise, we can not accept any responsibility for any artists'
aggressive behavior: It's up to yourselves to act in the best possible way.
It is of course our primary desire that such conflicts will not occur, but
for any anxious audience members can we as a soothing comfort make note that
the country's most modern intensive care unit is located virtually next door
to the theater (cf. National Hospital in the telephone directory).
Well,
it remains only to wish you all a very compelling (he he) even, or to put it
as one of the artists (Head Cape holder from Cairo): "They want to NOK sit
chained to chairs in the auditorium."
Good luck and if any good
improvement.
Lee Harvey Oswald, Instructor.
In this musical, it
is three guys that should be mentioned a little more depth:
Walter
Carlos, better known as "the Jackal" needs no introduction. He is already an
established international star. Who does not remember his brilliant
performances in shows such as: "Walter Get Your Gun" and "The Jackal redder
negro king's daughter".
Then there are the famous John Hinkley Jr.. The
Singing John Hinkley Jr.. is a young and very promising criminal. He started
early as terrorist, but was not the attention that he deserved. This changed
when he met Ronald Reagan. Hinkley jr. have had central roles in prison
shows that: "They shoot horses, don` t they? " and "Something funny happend
on the way to Ullersmo".
Finally I want to mention Pete Sutcliffe. The
man who has been a concept when it comes to prison shows. He has previously
appeared in the famous fengselsmusicals as: "My scared Lady" and "Kvele Man
on the Roof". This fun figure has already debuted in 1965, but was not the
final breakthrough until 1981.
This musical is comprised of two
acts:
Act 1
1. The fruit from Alcatraz - All.
2. Fengselspolkaen
go - Walter / Ballet.
3. Sing, sing, sing and be merry - John / Pete.
4. Is this lift serviced? Yes, it is the police officer - Sketch comedy
/ All.
Act 2
1. I want a blue baton! - All.
2. The thief, the
thief will you Pete / Ballet.
3. I'm a bully with blue eyes - Walter.
4. The taken last laughs best: - All.

institution - Stockholm 1984.

La
Boheme - Vienna 1986.
It all started July 4, 1985. With a coincidence
that Jahn read a short note in VG's Dramas.
The text of this notice was
as follows:
Popsangere from around the world now have the chance to
debut as opera singers. In the fall will Wiener Kammeroper invite to try
singing for poppversjonen of "La Boheme" which will have world premiere in
February.
When this was read as set Jahn started his own private
investigation. He contacted the Norwegian Embassy in Vienna. After a few
phones that got Jahn know how to try singing to keep the place. Jahn and
Anita traveled to Vienna for their own account. When they came down so no
one showed who they were. They asked for an audition with Popsangere from
all over Europe. They won and got the lead role in popversjonen of Puccini's
"La Bohene" as Mimi and Marcel.
Actually it was only Jahn who was to
audition. Anita was to accompany. But what songs they might present to the
American director Sam Cale, they were not sure. Should they choose Opera?
rock? pop? It ended with the man with kølappnummer 41 entered the scene,
connected from the microphone from its stand and sang "O Sole Mio" with such
a big impact that even Anita had been spared until then. In the middle of "O
Solo Mio" stopped the Jahn and asked for a rockelåt. Jahn sang the first
verse of his own "Sound of Love". Then the first verse was done Anita sat
down at the piano and sang the second verse. What happened then is not
common during an audition. All stood up and applauded.
"You are the
best" was the message they got along with that they would meet up the day
after the dance samples. It went so well for Jahn that he was promoted from
the intended role of Marcel to the primary role of Rudolph. Jahn had
actually received the most to do. 7 to 8 songs alone, lines and lots of
choreography. Anita comes into play after a while, and she is one of the
female participants who had most to do. At the peak of the 13 pieces on the
stage.
2. February 1986 (Sunday) so had Jahn and Anita's first public
performance in Vienna's Chamber Opera with poputgaven of Puccini's "La
Bohene". The official premiere was the first few days after (Tuesday
04.02.86), but the reaction to judge from yesterday's full set saddle should
be tailored for success. As it also was.
Jahn and Anita as it once was
married was also boyfriends and hovedrolleinnhavere in the show. They
received enthusiastic applause from a mixed, but adorned and formed the
audience. After the curtain had to fall so they and the rest of the big
fourteen-man ensemble on stage and receive the tribute all four times. It
deserved the supremely after a two-hour show where actually the peak of pure
dialogue in German, and then without an audible miss It is an achievement in
itself.
In "La Boheme" as had Jahn and Anita had roles that suited them
well and that they exploited to the full. Jahn had toyed with the facial
expression, emotions, and very powerful voice. Anita was, naturally NOK,
very credible as his sensitive and beautiful girlfriend.
The story of La
Boheme is a simple depiction of love in a classic Boheme environment, where
young artists would rather go to a cafe than to buy fuel. In the happy days
taken Poet Rudolph (Jahn) and Syersken Mimi (Anita), and they are very in
love. She will however, told that she is mortally ill and leaving Rudolph to
save him the grief. Then she will die, she can no longer be away from him,
and it all ends with that she dies in his arms.

that the station still in operation. It leads to the utoligeste
complications.
Knut Arngred who played in this musical became suddenly
ill and in stepped Jahn. During the 48 hours he took over one of the main
characters in "Stinsen brinner". No one thought that this was possible. But
Jahn did it. Jahn was able to learn the nine songs. All the choreography in
this short time. In addition to that, he played three different people: Gøte
cabbage, Emilio and Søren Nick Berg (togfører).

Charlie's Aunt - Chateu Neuf Oslo 1995.
By Brandon Thomas.
Director and workmanship: Runar Borge.
Sets: Svein Lund-Roland.
Music: Egil Monn-Iversen.
Cast: Jahn Teigen, Rolv Wesenlund, Harald Heide
Steen jr., Kari Rasmussen, Guri Schanke, Anitra Eriksen, Solfrid Heier,
Trond Teigen and Kim Prisoner.
How we even knew the beloved comedian
pair, has resurrected. It happened on "Charlie's Aunt" premiere last night,
when Harald H. Steen jr. courted Wesenlund. It was an unequivocal yes from
the audience.
In the spring of last year they played two stage veterans
of "Charlie's Aunt" at the Norwegian Theater. This is a flor light farce
about stupid love entanglement with no other purpose than to amuse. When
they move up to the Chateau Neuf, it is abundantly clear that the previous
round, has done something about the chemistry between Rolv Wesensten and
Harald H. Steen jr. After years of stage assignments in different parts, now
has the confidence to play each other again. Safer than they were in the
previous release.
In "Charlie's Aunt" where Rolv Wesenlund appears that
fiery south-American senora, is there a courting scene. It is Didrik Due
alias Harald H. Steen jr. which proposes to Donna Lucia alias Uncle Babben
alias Rolv Wesenlund. The scene is wonderfully long, and the two parhestene
improvise himmelropende rein loose and lekelystent. They are purely verbal
tangopar. Jahn Teigen performed the role of Mr. Nandor Spettevik - a somewhat
dubious guy. Mr. Nandor Spettevik was dad to 2 of the other co-star girls
including Olivia Lewis.
The play offers entertainment of the most shred
light stroke. Plus five new opponents, all well-chosen and cooperative with
the two central improvisors.
