The Premiere ABBA Experience at Arts Center

Who can resist singing along with such hits as “Honey, Honey,” “Waterloo,” and “Dancing Queen?”  AbbaFab, the Premiere ABBA Experience, performs at the Castro Valley Center for the Arts, (19501 Redwood Road, CV)  Saturday, September 17 at 7:30 p.m.  AbbaFab travels the country and abroad sharing the iconic music and dance of ABBA, the Swedish sensation of the ‘70s and ‘80s.  Their multimedia production celebrates the familiar highlights of the ABBA journey.

ABBA is one of the most successful musical groups of all times, topping the pop music charts from 1974-1983 with nearly 400 million albums sold worldwide.  The group was formed in Stockholm in 1972 by two married couples, Agnetha Faltskog and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and Benny Anderson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.  They chose their name from the first letters of their names, humorously, a palindrome.

ABBA’s fame again skyrocketed with the opening of the jukebox musical Mamma Mia on Broadway  in 1999.  The musical toured worldwide and is among the ten longest running musicals on Broadway.  ABBA was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010.  For ticketing information:  www.cvartsfoundation.org Free parking.
