FIM presents

Direct from Sweden: The Music of ABBA captures the incomparable sound and look of Sweden’s greatest musical export with meticulous attention to costumes, make-up, musical arrangements, movements and singing. Nothing is overlooked or left to chance. Many signature qualities and practices of ABBA – including standout solos, musical numbers and a complete live band with backup singers – ensures an extra dimension that sets this performance apart from similar productions.

Dance, sing along and enjoy familiar hits such as “Dancing Queen,” “Chiquitita,” “Mamma Mia,” “Fernando,” “Take a Chance,” “Money Money Money,” and many more ABBA favorites.

With more than 400 million records sold worldwide, ABBA is Sweden’s biggest musical phenomenon ever! When the musical Mamma Mia hit American stages in 2000 it became an instant classic, and the ABBA tribute was born soon after.

ABBA formed in 1972 and by the time they disbanded in 1982, the music they created in just 10 short years cemented them among the greatest pop musicians of all time, rivaling even Elvis and The Beatles. Even today, more than 50 years since they first began recording, their music continues to be passed on from generation to generation and remains loved by fans around the world.

Direct from Sweden: The Music of ABBA will deliver the best ABBA experience you’ll ever get – with some of Sweden’s most experienced and talented singers and musicians playing entirely live in every respect. The audience will be on their feet the entire show!
