The Fabulous Bäckström Brothers Show is directed by Toby Park and Aitor Bassauri of the Spymonkeys. The rhythmically sharp and abdomen-cramping funny musical comedy has been touring in Finland since its premiere and taken both the audiences and critics by storm. To extend the show’s possibilities a symphony orchestra version was created alongside the chamber version and world premiered with the Hagen City Orchestra in April 2016. The Finnish premiere followed in October 2016, both with roaring critical acclaim and full houses. This incredibly funny musical comedy, with its musical world hidden with masterpieces by Richard Wagner as well as Johnny Cash is directed by Toby Park and Aitor Bassauri of the Spymonkeys.
Performers: Jouni Bäckström, Petri Bäckström, Jukka Nykänen
”These guys are 3 of the most talented musicians I’ve seen and have comedy timing akin to Spike Milligan.” – Brighton & Hove News
”I was hopeful though that this Finnish trio would hit the mark, after all, this English language version of their hit show is directed by Toby Park and Aitor Basauri of Spymonkey, but not even that could have warned me of the pure, joyous silliness of this Skandi ”Road Story” and the talent of these three extraordinary performers.” – The Latest Brighton
”Ultimately a very funny and delightfully bonkers show, enhanced by the brothers’ wonderful singing and the standing ovation at the end confirmed this.” – Fringe
