| Abba duo win musical court battle |
Former Abba stars Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson have won a court battle over who is entitled to royalties from one of their hit musicals.
Carl-Johan Seth wrote a first draft of a show called Kristina from Duvemala, but the Abba duo successfully argued in court that his script was unusable.
Mr Seth's lawyer Staffan Michelson said he was very disappointed and his client would appeal against the decision.
Ulvaeus and Andersson now hope to take the musical to Broadway.
Immigrant story
Their plans for a US transfer had been on hold while the court case was under way.
Mr Seth had argued in court that he should be considered to be the main writer.
But Ulvaeus and Andersson said they had to use a script by director Lars Rudolfsson and dramatist Jan Mark instead.
Kristina from Duvemala tells the story of Swedish immigrants to the US in the 19th Century. |
