KIKKA – The Story of a Star

A full dose of Kikka and her music! This vibrant ensemble brings to life the story of a dazzling singer – her youthful dreams, meteoric rise, career highlights, and the hard-hitting challenges of the industry and private life. All wrapped in deep respect for an artist known to all, and in a sincere desire to tell her story.
“Does anyone ever have a complete story? What if it ends too soon? Who decides what is told afterwards?”

Kikka was a phenomenon – and still is. No one quite like her has come along since, though many have tried. Isn’t it time she had her own musical? It is. And here it comes!

The musical features a wide selection of Kikka’s hits – some in their original forms and others newly arranged for today. Kikka remains one of Finland’s all-time best-selling female artists.
