On stage: “Pippi celebrates her birthday”

Pippi is hosting a farewell party in the garden together with her father Efraim and the sailors from the Hoppetossa. The world’s strongest girl is heading back to the South Seas, and all children are invited to celebrate her. The party has barely begun when Miss Prysselius and the policemen Kling and Klang show up, trying to take Pippi to the children’s home. And what will Tommy and Annika say? Come and sing along!
