Bjorn and Benny in New York this week put
on a musical Presention of the musical 'Kristina' now
finally translated into english.
Two music concerts at Carnegie Hall on September 23
and 24, Following this there will be a Cast Recording
CD released of the music.
The show is very different from ABBA or Mamma
Mia, yet it looks set to be another success story
for Bjorn & Benny on Broadway.
This progression of the guys Musical career reminds
me of Abba's own career. How the likes of 'Waterloo' &
'Ring Ring' in 1973 brought us joy and fun song lyrics.
Who would have imagined by 1981 these swedish
songwriters would have us in tears, hearing songs from
the album 'The Visitors'. That time may have come around
again, we danced to Mamma Mia - now with
Kristina an epic emotional saga of emigrants
going over to the New World of America in the
1800's. Is it time to shed a tear or two?
'You Have to Be There'
is from the show when Kristina for the first time
is found questioning if God will be there for her following
her life's tragedy.
Kelly Ellis did an amazing version of this in Hyde Park
during the Abba Tribute Concert..will it even gain her a
new part on Broadway? Hope so..
Lets wait and see.
