ABBA’s hit songs help illustrate tell the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.
The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget…
ABBA, the Swedish band active from 1972 to 1982, was one of the most popular international pop groups of all time, with songs topping the charts again and again in Europe, North and South America and Australia. Following the premiere of Mamma Mia! in London in 1999, ABBA Gold topped the charts in the United Kingdom again.
