For nine years, there was a review in Trosa. Then, in 2020 because it was “…terribly boring,” it was put to sleep, the organisers going their separate ways. Actually, it was only the headline in SN that said it was boring. The fact is that it became financially unviable to hold a revue. The plague was the final nail in the coffin and it stopped.
Then, in 2022, sisters Emma Lundström and Yessica Dos Santos Chavier decided to revive it as the Trosa Revue 2.0. Having started up again, they then took a year off to create a bigger and better show. The year off was last year. And this year, the new, improved show was launched. And we saw it tonight.
It was Nicoline’s idea, and what a splendid idea it was. We were joined by KSP and Anna BoomBoom as well and the five of us had an excellent night, drenched in laughter.
Or, as a certain US president would no doubt say “It was a beautiful night. The best night. The greatest night possibly.“
The cast, Emma, Yessica, Lena Henriksson, Anna Lindsten, Peter Konradsson, Stefan Lindell, Johan Nordlander and Erick Sjöberg, were full of energy for the whole show which lasted a good couple of hours. The audience were fully entertained. And, even though I understood very few words, with the aid of my interpreter (Nicoline) I managed to understand what was going on and laughed along with the rest of them.
And the band was fantastic. Sebbe (piano), Annika (guitar), Janne (drums) and the magnificently bearded Jappe (bass guitar) played up a storm. Both accompanying the singing and playing on their own, they were, as I said, and it bears repeating, fantastic.
The skits, mostly written by the cast (and mostly by Yessica) were funny and of local resonance. There was even a film which portrayed a couple of early humans as they travelled through the area and the revue, in a number of segments throughout the show.
The whole show was immensely entertaining but, I have to say, I think the biggest laugh came when the ticks came onstage and sang a song about their impending arrival. The song was written by Hanna Sangemark who was a big part of this year’s Västerås revue, but ticks are more than just local, so that’s fair enough.
So, a big congratulation to the cast, crew, writers and anyone else involved. The revue 2026 was, at the risk of repeating myself for a third time, fantastic.
Anyway, the show was great fun so, thank you, Nicoline, for suggesting it and thank you to the cast for making me laugh. A lot.
