ABBA

ABBA was a hugely popular Swedish Pop group and one of the biggest selling bands of the mid 1970s and early 80s. As one of the premiere bands of the Disco era, the group had a number of monster hits, including "Dancing Queen," "Waterloo," and "Take a Chance on Me".

On March 26, 2010, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, told The Times in an interview they thought a one-off intimate performance might be a possibility. In previous years, a reunion was always dismissed. The band members even turned down a $1billion offer to go back on tour in 2000.

In 1983, the group ABBA broke up.http://www.abba-world.net/muse/news/billion.htmAfter the end of their run as a team, Benny & Björn started working together writing musicals. Chess: The Musical was released in 1984 in CD form and wasn't performed until 1986 at its premier in London. Different versions of Chess have been released, including the German performance, as well as a Swedish version that was rewritten and came out in February of 2002.http://www.abba-intermezzo.de/emusical.htm

On April 6th, 1999 ABBA premiered it's second musical, Mamma Mia! in London at the Prince Edward Theatre. The show is considered a comedy and is still running performances today. Mamma Mia has also been translated into German and this version was premiered on November 3, 2002 in Germany. According to the creators, they are in the process of working on yet another musical, but no more information has been given out as to what or when it will be.http://www.abba-intermezzo.de/emusical.htm
