Description
Peter Joback is one of Sweden's biggest stars and he has had a very successful musicals career in the UK and across the globe. His big break came in 1995 with his casting as Robert in the musical Kristina Fran Duvemala by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The success of this role brought him to the attention of the West End and he went on to make his West End debut, as Chris in Miss Saigon on 1997. Sir Cameron Mackintosh personally cast him to star in the West End premiere of The Witches of Eastwick. He went on to play Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera in the West End and star in its 25th Anniversary concert at the Royal Albert Hall. He reprised that role on Broadway and in 2018, he was asked by Cameron Mackintosh, Hal Prince and Andrew Lloyd Webber to perform in the 30th anniversary of "The Phantom of the Opera" on Broadway.

In 2012 Peter (alongside his successful musical theatre career in London and New York and his massive pop/crossover career in Sweden), created an arena concept called I Love Musicals. After sold out arena tours in 2012, 2013 and 2015, he took the concept to Tokyo in 2016 for two sold-out concerts in the iconic Budokan arena. In 2017 the I Love Musicals show became the biggest musicals concert ever when it was performed at the Ullevi football stadium, in Gothenburg in front of 27,000 people!

The I Love Musicals album, originally released in 2012, is a stunning collection of Peter's renditions of the best songs from world famous musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, Cabaret, Jesus Christ Superstar, Chess, Miss Saigon, and Sweeney Todd.

On this 10th Anniversary Edition Peter has recorded an exclusive bonus track which is an English language version of Down To The Sea, the beautiful ballad from the musical that kickstarted his career, Kristina Fran Duvemala, by Bjorn and Benny.
