Herman Lindqvist takes Christmas history musical on tour this fall

Author Herman Lindqvist is making a musical about the history of Christmas this fall and is taking the show on tour.

"This is the moment - Christmas celebration" is a version of the show that Lindqvist did last year, where he used famous songs to tell the story of events from world history.

Now, however, the focus is mainly on Christmas.

"I want to show how Christianity and the message of love in Christmas entered our Swedish and Western history," says Lindqvist in a press release.

The tour begins in northern Sweden on November 20 and will take in cities including Luleå, Sundsvall and Skellefteå. The Christmas tour will conclude with a midweek concert in Stockholm on December 27.

Artists such as Emmi Christensson, Kalle Leander and Nina Söderqvist are taking part in the show.
