The biggest revue success of the year, Cirkusrevyen '95. More than 150,000 people have cheered and laughed along with Lisbet Dahl, Ditte Gråbøl, Claus Ryskjær, Ulf Pilgaard, and Niels Olsen. Lots of music and singing, biting satire, and a completely outrageous show make Cirkusrevyen '95 a unique and fantastic experience that can be seen again and again.
The 2008 Circus Revue with Denmark's best revue actors: Ulf Pilgaard, Lisbeth Dahl, Henrik Løkkegaard, Ditte Hansen, and Niels Ellegaard. Quality, laughter, humor, and joy—or, to put it another way, in one of the many glowing five-star reviews: It's funny and it's crude. It's festive and it's cheeky. It's beautiful and it has a professional flow.
Svea hund, complete title Svea Hund på Göta Lejon (Svea Dog at Göta Lejon), was a Swedish variety show produced by AB Svenska Ord. It was written by Hans Alfredsson and Tage Danielsson, commonly known as Hasseåtage and directed by Tage. The show premièred on 15 February (although it had a sneak première on 9 February) 1976 on the theater Göta Lejon in Stockholm. It was the last of the three "Dog-revues"; the first was Gröna hund (Green Dog) the second being Gula Hund (Yellow Dog). Both Hasse and Tage starred in various roles. Other cast members were Gösta Ekman, Monica Zetterlund, Lena Nyman, and Tommy Körberg. The song quartet EBBA (Lena Eriksson, Lars Bagge, Kersint Bagge and Bo Andersson) and Gunnar Svenssons Bandhundband.
The revue is first and foremost Dirch Passer's. Here he is at the top of his game in his successful career as a revue artist. A genre he masters better than anyone else. Daimi is a worthy co-star, not least in their big song number "Who have you kissed in your doorway?" and Lily Broberg, Preben Kaas, and Klaus Pagh are also in their element.
Since 1935, Denmark's largest revue has been lifting the spirits of the Danish people. The cream of Danish acting talent has brought down the house with waves of laughter as they tackle social issues, politicians, celebrities, and everyday problems. The 2005 Cirkusrevyen team: Ulf Pilgaard, Henrik Lykkegaard, Lisbet Dahl, Claus Ryskjær, choreographer Bill Holmberg, Marie Askehave, and bandleader James Price. As both director and actress, Lisbet Dahl presents this year's revue team with well-known stars and one unknown quantity. Look forward to seeing Claus Ryskjær, Ulf Pilgaard, Henrik Lykkegaard, and Marie Askehave on stage until August 27.
