Celebrity friends flock to Sandefjord for the premiere of Anita Skorgan and Elisabeth Andreasen’s summer show.
SANDEFJORD (Nettavisen): It will probably be a very special evening for Anita Skorgan on Friday night. Four months after the beloved artist and ex Jahn Teigen died, Skorgan is back on stage.
Together with artist colleague Elisabeth «Bettan» Andreassen she sets up the summer show «Bettanita» at Scandic Park Hotel in Sandefjord. Although they are both big names in the music industry, this is actually the first time they share a stage.

Neither Anita Skorgan nor Elisabeth Andreassen wanted to talk to the press ahead of the premiere, but in the description of the show the two ladies promise a very special evening.
“We can promise good interpretations of our great butchers, there will be humor and joy, but also songs for reflection. And Anita and “Bettan” will naturally honor our everyone’s Jahn Teigen, “it is described.

– A lot of sipping
Several of the artist’s good friends are also convinced. Among them is actor Nils Vogt, stylist and TV profile Jan Thomas, artist Guri Schanke and actor Sven Nordin, who made the trip to Sandefjord for the premiere Friday night.
Before the premiere, Nils Vogt, among others, could tell that it will be a tearful night.
– For me, there will probably be tears. I am very easily touched, so I’m going to sit and sip a little, “Nils Vogt tells Nettavisen.
Acting colleague Sven Nordin and wife Torhild Strand could confirm this.

– Tears will be there, but not on him. That will be enough for me, Strand says.

– Think Anita is nervous
For stylist and TV profile Jan Thomas, who for the occasion brought girlfriend Harlem Alexander on the red carpet for the first time, this will be a very special evening.
As a kid, he was a big fan of Anita Skorgan and Jahn Teigen, and tells that as a kid he ran after them to secure an autograph. However, this will be the first time he has seen his big childhood idol on stage.
– I’ve seen Bettan on stage a lot of times. (…) But I think this will be the first time I see Anita properly on stage in a show. Now she has to talk to the audience as well, not just sing, because Bettan likes to stand and talk, says Jan Thomas.
Jan Thomas is convinced this will be a powerful moment.
– I think there will be a lot of emotions. I was watching Bettan the first time she was on stage after Tore passed away, and now it’s a bit of the same tonight. It will be strong and it will be fine, with many good friends in the hall, he says.
First arranged concert in several months
Due to the corona situation and strict infection control measures, it was not obvious that summer concerts could be launched.
As one of the very first concerts organized after the corona eruption, they were only allowed to sell 200 tickets for each performance. All the tickets were sold out at the premiere.
This is the third year in a row “Bettan” guests Sandefjord with a summer show. In 2017 she came alone, last year she performed in double teams with Tom Mathiesen.
