Den stora premiären
One of the best and funniest productions from Fredriksdalsteatern with Eva Rydberg, Ola Forssmed and Kim Sulocki as the Marx Brothers. The whole thing takes place at the Central Park Theatre in New York in 1935. In the middle of a rehearsal of a new musical, the theater director Hector Chesterfield dies and in order for the musical to premiere in a week, it is extremely important to find a new theater director. Hector's wife, Patricia, asks her old acquaintance, the incredibly strange and stupid adventurer Captain Spoling, to take over the theater. After much deliberation, he agrees. Then the great mafia boss Don Calzone shows up and claims ownership of the theater. Hector bet the theater in a game of poker, and lost. Now the two candidates, together with their lawyers and the others, must find Hector's will to see who he wanted as his successor. Amidst all this, love stories, madness and misunderstandings unfold - all while the theater's existence is in danger.
