The group behind Schlager Night

This year’s Schlager Night will be a great show. It is the group Schlagerfeber who is producing it. 
- Look out for Schlagerfeber XL with special guest stars, says Martin Kagemark.

Martin is one of the members of Schlagerfeber as are Josefina Ohlsson, Susana Säfsund and Lars Hägglund. They have experience from musicals, the Swedish song contest and Stockholm Pride so they have a lot of routine. The have been working together for six years.

Schlager Night will be different this year. Fewer artists and more of a gala so the artists will have to work a little harder. It will be 160 busy minutes for Schlagerfeber.
- We are quite stressed right now, but it'll be alright when everything is on it's way.

Josefina and Martin have performed at Pride before but this year they have worked harder than ever. Four months of administration and learning all the songs by heart.

Their main goal for the evening is to make the audience happy and they hope for a warm welcome.

They are still very secretive about what's going to happen and don’t want give anything away more than what they have already said. However they mention the designer Dimo Giouvanoglou, the show's clothes designer and Lars Andersson and Daniel Ottoson who has written the show's humurous script.
- The show is going to be modern and will probably contain some punches below the belt. Martin tells us.

- How straight is the Swedish song contest?.
- I would say fifty-fifty, says Lars Hägglund.
The rest of the group agrees and says that the song contest is very open and that a lot of people like that.
- There are lots of straight men in their forties that love the contest, says Martin, so I'm sure it is fifty-fifty.

The group perform at restaurant Victoria in Kungsträdgården every Monday.
- Once we had an audience of 900, that was a record and the time after that we immediately broke our own record! says Susanna Säfsund.

The group are very excited although it's going to be a lot of hard work .  
- We hope the audience will party and have as fun as we will, says Josefina.
