Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard
Norwegian musical for children
Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard (original Norwegian title: Putti Plutti Pott og Julenissens Skjegg) is a Norwegian children's musical written by Per Asplin. It has become a Norwegian cultural institution.[1] It originally appeared as a Christmas album in 1969, but in 1970 NRK, the Norwegian national broadcaster, televised a staged version starring Asplin. This version was broadcast every year for decades.Asplin, Per (1993). Putti Plutti Pott og julenissens skjegg [Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard] (in Norwegian). Norway: Schibsted. p. 5. ISBN 8251615143. In 1987 Asplin again starred in a traveling big-budget stage production. This continued until his death in 1996.[2] There are now annual productions in many Norwegian cities throughout the holiday season.[1]
