About the Performance

Lunch Concert at UKK – Entertaining, Short and Sweet

Marilyn Monroe’s 100th anniversary is celebrated with Karin Grönberg’s new performance at Uppsala Concert & Congress.

She is born as Norma Jeane. She dies as Marilyn Monroe. Her greatest dream is to become a good actress, but the male-dominated world she lives in turns her into a sex symbol. Marilyn Monroe is celebrated, admired, and loved, but behind the glamorous Marilyn hides a lonely and unloved Norma.

Singer and actress Karin Grönberg has previously portrayed legendary figures Edith Piaf and Judy Garland, but to celebrate Marilyn Monroe’s 100th anniversary, she takes on the icon for the first time, welcoming us to her performance MARILYN.

The Food

For the lunch concert, a warm soup with toast is served, prepared with carefully selected ingredients. Your lunch is served and can be collected at the bar on the 3rd floor, and can be enjoyed either before or during the performance. Of course, you are welcome to bring the food into Hall B! With fold-out tables at each seat, you can relax and enjoy both food and entertainment.
