The play has now had it´s final season in Stockholm,
and 1,000 917 people saw it in Malmö, Göteborg and
Stockholm. The last performance was on June 19th,
and most of the orginal cast from Malmö was playing,
at least the most important roles.
The Cirkus Theatre was sold out that day and Björn and
Benny got standing ovations when they entered the
theatre.
The performace was magic and fantastic though it must
have been over +30 Celsius in the arena!
Fortuntaley the fans of Kristina have their hopes set on
a translation of Kristina into english. Björn and Benny has
said that they have
now made a 25 minute tape with some songs from
Kristina.
The idea is to show it in Minneapolis some time in the beginning
of the next century. Hopefully the musical will reach
success, and it´ll bring it all the way to Broadway...
Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson The successful
couple
has been working with their next musical (especially Björn), Mamma Mia, a musical
based on their music from the ABBA-time. It´s performed at The Prince Edward Theatre in London. And is a real blockbuster, it is predicted to run on West End at least 6 more years, and it´s all sold out until Christmas. The idea is to tour with the musical, with a new cast around Nort America in May next year.
Want to hear music performed by the cast-members or maybe
the entire Kristina-box?
Here are some tips...most records are avaliable at Swedish
record stores but can also be ordered over the net on some of these record stores online:
Björn and Benny are both also involved in the making of a new pop-song, but they don´t want to give to much away more then the fact that it is a duet for two british singer.
