Instructing into the late hours

notes on the battle scene

Remembering both lyrics and placement - not an easy task

Ann-Christin at the frst sing-thru with the orchestra

Jamie Dunsmore leading the Norwegian Radio Symphonics

Kjell-Ole and musical supervisor Eirik Bøhn Berntsen

Stig Krogstad as Thomas Bridge on the first sing-through

A lot of people involved in a concertproduction - and a lot of waiting...

But the composer was always enthusiastic.

Opening night, and Ole welcomed grand old man of norwegian musictheatre, mr. Lasse Kolstad

Sara Williams (Rachel) and Alexander Lycke (Tino)

Concentration Camp

At last Max finds Alina and promises to free her

The friends muster up with the rebels

The first line-up

The menacing leader, captain Court (Adam Burton)

The last drill before the battle (Stephen Weller, Anine Kruse, Sara Williams, Øystein Kausrud)

First act finale - TONIGHT

Thomas Bridge (Stig Krogstad) reflects over the medias position

Rachel (Sara Williams) writes a letter home

Captain Court (Adam Burton) kicks Walter out of the force

Walter (Trond Teigen) have spied on the BlackJacks, and is shot by his own men returning.

The final battle arrives

Losses are large on both sides

In his platoon, Max is the sole survivor

Ivan Kahn (Simon Masterton-Smith) escapes, but threatens to return

The prisoners from the concentration camp is freed

Max (Stephen Weller) finds Alina (Ann-Christin Elverum) again after the battle

And as the story comes to an end, they all hope that their story will live on, and not be forgotten.

Happily taking their bows: Ann-Christin Elverum, Kjell-Ole Haune and Alexander Lycke

Called back on stage, the composer was received with standing ovations

And then the party took off. Emotionally registering it all, Kjell-Ole seen with assistant Margareth

Then thanking all his cast and crew for the help

And a very pleased group lifted their glasses together after a grand opening night
