Björn Ulvaeus is writing a new musical together with a British author, he tells from the stage at the Book Fair.

To Expressen, the ABBA legend says that this time he is writing the musical without Benny Andersson. He does not specify who the British author is, but says that they have come "a good way".

We are in full swing. I can say as much as that it is based on Nordic mythology, he says on stage according to Expressen.

In June, Ulvaeus told Sveriges Radio's Kulturnytt that he is writing a new musical and that he is using artificial intelligence to get new ideas. Then he said that he feels three-quarters done with the musical.

Ulvaeus has had great successes together with Benny Andersson with musicals like "Kristina från Duvemåla", "Chess" and "Mamma Mia".
