Katri Helena is one of the most loved Finnish artists since the 1960's and has sold around 1,5 million albums so far. The media has followed her career, her romances, family life and tragedies closely over the years and now the legend with "blue and white voice" gets a musical based on her life. The musical will premiere in Helsinki City theatre in fall 2011. The storyline is based on her life and her songs that we will hear about 20 over the show. The musical is written by Ilpo Tuomarila, it will be directed by Tiina Brännare and Katri herself will be played by Sanna Majuri. The premiere is on August 25 on the big stage with dancer-backing singer group of 14, and a band of 12 people. More info here. Both her Eurovision entries will be heard in the musical of course: Katson sineen taivaan and Tule luo.
