The Danish romantic comedy film 'Den eneste ene' has sold nearly a million tickets and remains one of Denmark's most successful films, now being revived as a musical for a special anniversary.
The 1999 romantic comedy 'Den eneste ene', directed by Susanne Bier and written by Kim Fupz Aakeson, has sold nearly a million tickets, making it one of the most successful films in Danish history. The film's popularity is not only due to its box office success but also its critical acclaim, as it appears in Bo Green Jensen’s book on the 25 best Danish films, highlighting its cultural significance in Denmark.
In 2005, 'Den eneste ene' was adapted into a musical, which also achieved great success, showcasing the film’s narrative's adaptability to different formats. The recent revival of the musical coincides with a celebration of an unspecified anniversary, indicating a sustained interest in the work over the years and the importance of commemorating cultural milestones within Danish cinema and theatre.
The reappearance of this musical serves not only as entertainment but also as a reminder of Denmark’s rich film and theatrical heritage. It brings together both new audiences and long-time fans, thereby fostering a deeper appreciation for the arts and encouraging more performances of cherished local stories.
