#261388 Rock Of Ages To Close & Move!

Yup, English songs and Swedish dialogue. Also, there's different staging, new choreography, some slight tweaks to the book, and some slight changing up of who sings what (certain lines in at least one song). A friend, who went for the sole purpose of seeing the show, just got back and, despite not speaking Swedish, really loved it

I just accidentally found out that there seems to be a production of RoA running in Stockholm: http://www.rockofages.se/

Does anybody have some information (perhaps even seen)? Is this a Swedish version, or the original English one? Just asking, as my Swedish is a bit rusty (one might also say "inexisting"). But as I wanted to visit Stockholm for quite some time now, this might be the perfect excuse...

Am I interpreting it correctly that the show is currently only booking until 25th May?

A friend of mine is playing Stacee Jaxx in the Stockholm production (Peter Johansson, he used to play Galileo in We will rock you at the Dominion years ago). From what I know it's English songs with Swedish dialogues.
They are currently booking until the end of May but Peter said it's quite likely they will extend for another few months. Nothing has been announced yet though.
