These are some of the performers on the CD who really stood out for me!

Helen Sj�holm. I'd never heard of her before, and I don't think very many people had. It's always risky to put a major role like this, one that can make or break a show, on the back of someone who's not well-known. It can be disastrous - or, when it works, it can be brilliant. And in this case, it definitely works! She is fantastic as Kristina - equally adept at being sweet, silly, angry, afraid, confused and determined. She always makes the character accessible, so that we can experience Kristina's journey with her. Here's a gorgeous website for Helen.

Anders Ekborg. Next to Kristina, his is easily the most important part in the show. He is a huge presence in Kristina's life, and therefore must be to the audience as well. He has a great voice, and is really touching, especially at the end!! You can find some more about him here.

Peter J�back. This was somebody I had actually heard of before I heard the CD - but only because after the success of this show, he went on to perform in London. :-) Robert has some really nice parts to sing, and Peter does a great job of them. He makes Robert a really sympathetic character. Learn much more at the Official Peter J�back Website.

�sa Bergh. It would be pretty easy to let the character of Ulrika become something of a stereotype, but �sa never does that. She always makes her seem very real - so that both her past mistakes and her present repentment feel like something that could happen to anyone. If you can read Swedish, you can find more about her at �sa Bergh - Vi sjunger i natt.
