7.0This year's Cirkusrevy has it all: show, fun, satire, and stars who can make it all float effortlessly," wrote Berlingske's reviewer about Cirkusrevyen 2024, which once again this year serves up satire, parodies, and a fast-paced show with sharp lyrics and beautiful music. Cirkusrevy debutant Silas Holst performs a dazzling parody of Queen Mary, who tries to help King Frederik, played by Niels Ellegaard, remember his motto.
0.0The 2008 Circus Revue with Denmark's best revue actors: Ulf Pilgaard, Lisbeth Dahl, Henrik Løkkegaard, Ditte Hansen, and Niels Ellegaard. Quality, laughter, humor, and joy—or, to put it another way, in one of the many glowing five-star reviews: It's funny and it's crude. It's festive and it's cheeky. It's beautiful and it has a professional flow.

The show premièred on 15 February (although it had a sneak première on 9 February) 1976 on the theater Göta Lejon in Stockholm. It was the last of the three "Dog-revues"; the first was Gröna hund (Green Dog) the second being Gula Hund (Yellow Dog). Both Hasse and Tage starred in various roles. Other cast members were Gösta Ekman, Monica Zetterlund, Lena Nyman, and Tommy Körberg. The song quartet EBBA (Lena Eriksson, Lars Bagge, Kersint Bagge and Bo Andersson) and Gunnar Svenssons Bandhundband.
0.0Cirkusrevyen 2022 looks back on the past year with powerful satire and entertainment in a class of its own. Experience Merete Mærkedahl's parody of the prime minister, Pernille Schrøder as Pia Kjærsgaard, and Niels Olsen, Henrik Lykkegaard, and Carsten Svendsen as three eager cyclists who 'fill the whole road'. Cirkusrevyen is a festive extravaganza of sharp and funny lyrics, beautiful dance numbers, and a talented house orchestra. This year's revue ends with a beautiful tribute to Lisbet Dahl, who has directed the revue in the tent for the last time.
6.0Since 1935, Denmark's largest revue has been lifting the spirits of the Danish people.

0.0Vicki Berlin, Henrik Lykkegaard, Thomas Mørk, Tom Jensen, Lars Arvad, and Lone Rødbroe poke fun at the year's funniest and most important people and events.
6.8The revue is first and foremost Dirch Passer's. Here he is at the top of his game in his successful career as a revue artist. A genre he masters better than anyone else. Daimi is a worthy co-star, not least in their big song number "Who have you kissed in your doorway?" and Lily Broberg, Preben Kaas, and Klaus Pagh are also in their element.
10.0Joy-Maria Frederiksen is the new director in 2023, and there is plenty of topicality and depth, while preserving the revue's fine heritage. Cirkusrevyen 2023 is an elegant performance with enthusiastic performers.
