Värmland, Sweden
Sweden saw the third Scandinavian non-replica production of Waitress the Musical, with the show playing in Norrköping and Linköping in 2023. Its success led to a second staging of the show in September 2024 in Säffle in Värmland at the SäffleOperan, featuring a new translation of the show by Jenny Schaub.
The show was directed by Mattias Palm, who trained in Gothenberg and has produced shows in both Sweden and Norway.
