It's just you I'm afraid. I saw the show in Sweden and I can asure you that they are either in their late twentie or early thirties. Not as youg as the London cast. I liked the show but it didn't beat the London production and I think nothing ever will ;D

It's worth pointing out that the Swedish puppets aren't made by Rick Lyon, like the American and British ones are. That's why they look a little different.

Lol. The show was good. But you could tell it was kind of a low budget version. And the Swedish audience was not quite ready for the verbal content even though we are open. I laughed like crazy and others kept looking and glaring at me lol. Still, absolutely nothing can ever beat the London Production. At least with the current cast  |

Is the Swedish version in Swedish or English? Or is that a silly question?

I think they look a fair bit older than the London cast. Our guys are all twentysomethings aren't they?

After seeing those clips I understand why the swedish audience wasn't that up for the traslation... It really sounds a bit weird cus they use words that's normally not used just to get it to rime...
And they Brian sings: 'I'm both unemployed and broke and over 31' (well, not both, but no other word for it in English)
And they sing 'it's shit to be meee... it sucks so much'
and 'you're ironing your underwear like those fools in the army'
hahaha! Kinda funny tho
