The smash hit "Eternally Young" returns to Kilden in January 2026. So far, more than 125,000 audience members have seen this critically acclaimed laughter bomb of a comedy that has played to full houses at Chat Noir for five seasons. Last time they were in Kristiansand, tickets were snapped up in record time - so secure yours now before they sell out!
«Evig ung» er en musikalsk komedie full av rock’n’roll, varme og dødelig frekk humor. Flere tiår etter sin storhetstid som skuespillere har Hege Schøyen, Ingar Helge Gimle, Henrik Mestad, Hilde Lyrån, Paul-Ottar Haga og Gisle Børge Styve flyttet inn på sykehjem. Bygget som tidligere var kjent som ærverdige Kilden teater og konserthus har nå blitt forvandlet for å imøtekomme byens aldrende befolkning.
Here, the elderly actors have settled down to enjoy their old age and reminisce about a time that is long gone. The monotony of everyday life is only broken when the strict nurse, played by Mari Kjølstad, launches into sing-alongs and patronizing activation measures such as "head, shoulder, knee and toe". Because that's what old people like, right?
The group may have passed 90 long ago, but they refuse to fade away. One day the seniors have had enough. As soon as the nurse turns her back, the inner rebels are awakened with a primal force that has survived since the glory days of the theater. It turns out that there's still a lot of spunk in the old bodies, and they're not as resigned as they seem. Because even though getting old can be tough, you can still feel like a 25-year-old and want to play the leading role in your own life - one last time.
"Forever Young" is a punchy musical comedy about growing old, packed with a deadly cheeky sense of humor and a contemporary slant. Audiences can look forward to a string of pearls of well-known pop and rock songs from the last 50 years, with appropriate titles such as "Stayin' Alive", "Forever Young" and "I Will Survive".
Welcome to a distinctive blend of humor, warmth, music and reflection that hits you right in the heart.
