The Abba Voyage show is set to head across the pond show after becoming a roaring success in the capital.
The show has been in East London for the past three and a half years and is still selling out week after week.
And now, thanks to the success of the concert, they will be taking the show stateside.
Bosses want to take the digital concert’s residency to New York, after talks for launching it in Las Vegas stalled.
The band are said to be keen to develop a long-dormant stretch of land on 11th Avenue, not far from Times Square, in the hopes of bringing the show to an American audience.
A source told The Sun: “While many steps remain in the process, they are actively working to bring ABBA Voyage to New York.
“It took ages to build the arena though, so I imagine there will be a bit of a wait for American fans.”
The plan was reportedly quietly presented at the board meeting of the New York City Industrial Development Agency (NYCIDA), where representatives from the NYC Economic Development Corporation (EDC) sought approval for a major package of tax benefits intended to lure the production to New York rather than Las Vegas.
According to the developers’ filings, the partnership behind the project — Clinton PB Associates LLC, a joint venture of Extell Development and Princeton Real Estate Partners — intends to demolish the row of vacant buildings on the block and replace them with a 175,000-square-foot, 3,000-seat, purpose-built arena for Voyage.
It is suggested they will propose e a 30-year lease with the show’s US operator, Isagel LLC, with an anticipated opening in 2028.
