Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus’ Kristina to Be Performed at Carnegie Hall

Kristina, a musical with a score by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (and English lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer), will be performed in a concert presentation at Carnegie Hall on September 23 and 24. Casting will be announced shortly.

Based on the novels of Swedish author Vilhelm Moberg, the show tells the epic story of a family’s migration from Sweden to America in the mid-19th Century. It premiered in Sweden in 1995 to critical acclaim, ran for almost four years, and won four Guldmasken Theatre Awards (Sweden’s Tony Awards). The concert will mark the first presentation of the show in English.

Andersson and Ulveaus are best known as the co-founders of the pop group ABBA. Their Broadway credits include Chess and Mamma Mia!

Tickets will go on sale on Sunday, May 31 in person at the Carnegie Hall Box Office, or by calling 212-247-7800 or visiting www.carnegiehall.org.
