Evig ung

The smash hit "Forever Young" returns to Ibsenhuset !

So far, over 125,000 (!) audiences have seen this critically acclaimed comedy that has played to sold-out houses at Chat Noir for 5 (!) seasons. The last time they were in Skien, tickets sold out in record time – so secure your tickets now before they sell out!

"Evig ung" is a musical comedy full of rock'n'roll, warmth and deadly cheeky humor. Decades after their heyday as actors, Hege Schøyen, Ingar Helge Gimle, Henrik Mestad, Hilde Lyrån, Paul-Ottar Haga and Gisle Børge Styve have moved into a nursing home. The building that was formerly known as the venerable Ibsenhuset has now been transformed to accommodate the city's aging population.

Here, the ancient actors have settled down to enjoy their old age and reminisce about a time long gone. The monotonous everyday life is only broken when the strict nurse, played by Mari Kjølstad, starts singing along and patronizing activation measures such as head, shoulder, knee and toe. Because that's what old people like, right?

The gang has long since passed 90, but they refuse to fade away. One day the seniors have had enough. As soon as the nurse turns her back, the inner rebels are awakened by a primal force that has survived since the glory days of the theater. It turns out that there is still a lot of life in the old bodies, and they are not at all as resigned as they seem. Because even though it can be tough to get old, you can still feel like a 25-year-old and have a desire to play the main role in your own life – one very last time.

"Forever Young" is a musical comedy with punch about getting old, packed with deadly cheeky humor and a slanted look adapted to our times. The audience can look forward to a string of well-known pop and rock songs from the last 50 years, with appropriate titles like "Stayin Alive", "Forever Young" and "I Will Survive". 

Welcome to a unique blend of humor, warmth, musical elements and reflection that will touch your heart.
