The first staging in Sweden and starred Pontus Platin, a popular siging star in Sweden. Peter Winsnes, who played Brad, was Jesus in the Original Swedish Cast of Jesus Christ Superstar, 1972, with Agnetha from ABBA as Mary.

Our RHS was the first time ever it´s been done in Sweden, we did do a VERY good version of it. Probably the most fun I´ve had in my life on stage so far. My Frank was a mix of Tom Jones and the gayest freddy mercury in drag you could imagine. I sure did kick some ass... (Pontus Platin)

Opened October 1, 1981 and played for 53 performances at Nya Teatern, Goteborg
