Sussie Eriksson Wins 2023 Karamelodiktstipendiet for Versatility

I'm so incredibly happy, extremely, extremely happy. It's such an honor, says the award winner himself to TT. She has played everything from Anita in "West Side story" to Cecilia Jansson in TV4-series "c/o Segemyhr". In her luggage, Sussie Eriksson also has over 1,000 performances with the musical "Mamma mia", a second place in "Let's dance" and the unofficial role as audience favorite in SVT's "Bäst i test". The jury highlights her versatility as "simmering and bubbling in radio, TV, film, revue and cabaret shows". This is the first time I get a prize actually. I was genuinely shocked when they called and said that I was nominated for the Karamelodiktstipendiet. It's at the same time a bit embarrassing, I think I'm just muddling along in the background and suddenly being noticed like this... The Karamelodiktstipendiet was established by Povel Ramel in 1982 and consists of a diploma, a large cone of caramels and a sum of money that makes the recipient "financially independent for the rest of the day". Among previous stipendiates are Tommy Körberg, First Aid Kit, Suzanne Reuter and Lisa Nilsson.
