From 1974 through 1982, the first recording artists from a non English-speaking country to regularly top the world's record charts, owned the airwaves around the planet. ABBA's breakthrough came when their song “Waterloo” won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest. Soon a string of international hits, including “Dancing Queen” “Mamma Mia”, “Fernando”, “Voulez-Vous” and many others followed. To further underline the immense popularity of ABBA's music, all written by group members Benny Andersen and Bjorn Ulvaeus, “Mamma Mia” was transformed into the hugely popular stage play and movie of the same name. And on Eurovision's 50th anniversary, “Waterloo” was voted the best winning song in the contest's history. So it was with some trepidation when in 2009 seasoned Torontobased entertainers,Krystal Jackson and Monica Tietz, signed on as lead singers of the newly minted Canadian version of “Abbamania”. But since its launch, this exciting tribute to the ever popular ABBA has been a smash hit, continuously touring the concert, casino and supper club circuit across Canada and the US. Songs featured in the Abbamania show include “Waterloo”, Dancing Queen”, “Voulez-vous”, “Knowing Me, Knowing You”, “Fernando”, “Mamma Mia”, “Chiquitita”, “SOS”, “The Winner Takes All” and many more. |
