Mamma Mia! The Party - New Restaurant Plans - Bjorn

Hit wins the Björn Ulvaeus billion empire

The successes of Björn Ulvaeus billion empire continue.

In June, his company, Pop House, Cirkus bought at Djurgården - now plans to buy this Abba member to build a house in London where "Mamma Mia the party" will be held.

"Five minutes from Waterloo station, we will build a house that will open sometime 2019. It's a great thing," says Björn Ulvaeus.

 

The year was 1972 when Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad started giving out their music. Two years later, the group formed the name ABBA, which became one of the world's most famous bands.

And the success of ABBA ended not only because the band was playing the tournament on the shelf - on the contrary. The musical "Mamma Mia" based on the group's songs has become a world success. Also the movie with the same name.

Soon, the second "Mamma Mia" film - a project Björn Ulvaeus will be involved in.

"I'm very involved when it comes to casting. Benny has been in the studio recently, and myself I will go to London and record. It's a kidding project, says Björn Ulvaeus.

Björn Ulvaeus involved in more "Mamma Mia" projects.

In addition to the fact that Björn Ulvaeus owns properties for almost SEK 20 million and had an acquisition income of 2.4 million in 2015, there are billions in Ulvaeus companies.

He owns 70 percent of Kopparnäset AB, which in turn has 24 companies - one of them is MM! The Party AB. And "Mamma Mia" has become a huge brand, where Björn Ulvaeus gets his delicious piece of succé cake worth a million.

"I can not say how much, but some of course comes," says Ulvaeus, and continues:

"It's exciting how the brand" Mamma Mia "has grown - with both the stage music and the movies. And now, "Mamma Mia! The Party" that goes for sold out houses in Stockholm, and I'm getting to London, says Björn Ulvaeus.

He tells us that there is currently a planning process in the South Bank of London about Mamma Mia! The Party. "

"We will build a house five minutes from Waterloo station where" Mamma Mia! The Party "opens sometime 2019. And it works that's how it works everywhere I can imagine - it's a great thing, says Björn Ulvaeus.

 

Ulvaeus about Circus: "Will be fun to put your teeth on"

But the former ABBA member also has big plans at home in Sweden. In June Ulvaeus bought company, Pop House, Circus on Djurgården.

"I just do the way I think it's great fun and this with Circus fits so well into Pop House, which also owns the ABBA Museum. So I'm looking forward to working with Cirkus content with other actors and that Pop House and I produce their own stuff. It will be a joke to put your teeth in it, "concludes Björn Ulvaeus.

Mamma Mia! Movie Sequel Coming !

 

Opa! Get ready for a ‘Mamma Mia’ sequel

By Michael Riedel

Broadway’s gearing up to say “ciao” to what may be the guiltiest of pleasures in the musical theater.
“Mamma Mia!” — which gave New York City a much-needed jolt of fun a month after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center — is going out with a block party in front of the Broadhurst Theatre on Sept. 12. The ABBA musical will have played 5,765 performances and grossed over $600 million on Broadway alone. I expect confetti and maybe fireworks — they can afford it!

On hand will be Judy Craymer, who produced the show and is now one of the richest women in England, as well as director Phyllida Lloyd and book-writer Catherine Johnson. (Interesting tidbit: “Fun Home” is the first Broadway show since “Mamma Mia!” to have an all-female creative team: Jeanine Tesori, Lisa Kron and Alison Bechdel.)

There was some talk that Meryl Streep, who starred in the “Mamma Mia!” film, would swing by for the closing-night fun, but I’m told she’ll be out of town on a movie set. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus — the ABBA boys — won’t be around either. They’re on their yachts, which I pray are named Waterloo and Fernando.

After the show closes, Craymer will turn her attention to a “Mamma Mia!” movie sequel. The 2008 original remains the highest-grossing movie musical of all time — over $600 million worldwide and counting.

Streep is likely to reprise her role, and I hear Pierce Brosnan may pop up to serenade us with that lovely singing voice of his. The movie is in the early stages, but Casey Nicholaw, who staged “The Book of Mormon” and “Something Rotten!,” may direct.

Cast members from all 14 years of the Broadway run are going to appear in the final performance at the Broadhurst. I hope Joe Machota, the original Sky, is among them. Though he’s since become a big-shot agent at CAA, I’ll always think of him in a wet suit, flippers and a snorkel.

As for Craymer, one of my all-time favorite producers, here’s a story making the rounds to show how far she’s come: Before “Mamma Mia!” opened in London in 1999, she invited Baz Bamigboye, the powerful Daily Mail gossip columnist to lunch. Midway through the meal, she admitted she didn’t have the money to pay the bill. Bamigboye graciously took care of it.

I had a jolly lunch with her last December at the Colbert in London.
Guess who picked up the check this time.
