The initiative came from Colin Nutley and Bergström, and the idea was presented to producers Vicky and Johan von der Lancken after a meeting with Strömstedt, according to reports. The musical will be produced in collaboration with the von der Lancken, according to reports. The theater for the premiere has not been decided, but it may start at Oscarsteatern in Stockholm, following the pattern of the musical Änglagård, reports say.
Strömstedt noted that he had already written many songs that worked well in the plot, according to reports. Lasse Holm's hit "Inget stoppar oss nu" will appear in some way, but Nutley emphasised that the musical is not a dance band musical, according to reports. Actors will be found through auditions, according to reports.
Nutley said he will be involved but the primary roles are for Bergström and Strömstedt, according to reports. According to Dagens Nyheter, Nutley described Black Jack as his favorite among his films.
