About ABBAcadabra

With the new resurgence of the ‘70s, portrayed in part by the hugely popular live musical production and now the world wide release of the movie “Mamma Mia,” the music of ABBA is finding its way back into the hearts of those who lived it then and taking over the hearts of those who are experiencing it for the first time now. ABBAcadabra promises to continue the momentum by performing 20 of the group’s greatest hits in full ABBA fashion and flair. The show is authentic in music and dress and is performed with a full orchestra.
