Running since: October 2001 A surprisingly popular choice among the suburban set, this lively pop musical features the songs of the 70’s europop group ABBA, played to enthusiastic nightly standing ovations.
This wafer-thin story, in which a mother confronts her past on a beautiful Greek island, provides a jumping-off point for the easygoing ecstasy of ABBA. The wispy, waspy ("Zorba" it ain't) mix of beat, lyric, and look makes this a very easily-approached show.
Those looking for really serious theatre should look elsewhere, but there is a peculiar kind of Broadway magic at work in this tuner - by the end, practically the whole audience is singing along to ABBA and dancing in the aisles, and these are not your average ABBA fans.
Family Rundown: The kids certainly seem to enjoy the songs, but you might want to have an explanation ready for a central plot point - one character is unsure which of three men is her father.
Here's a video clip from the 2001 Tony Award broadcast:
