‘70s pop heyday returns with ABBA?ManiaWhat: ABBA Mania, London ABBA tribute band Tickets: $29-$34, available at www.durangoconcerts.com or 970.247.7657
Known for its dominance of music charts in the ‘70s and ‘80s, ABBA has sold 370 million records worldwide, ranking the band with Elvis Presley and The Beatles in terms of commercial success. In addition, it has inspired a whole new generation with the Broadway musical and movie “Mamma Mia!” which starred Meryl Streep and was written entirely as a vehicle for ABBA’s music. ABBA Mania played its first shows in 2000. Today, the production is known as one of the – if not the – most polished and authentic ABBA tributes, playing to sell-out crowds in the United Kingdom and throughout the world. One of ABBA Mania’s crowning achievements was performing in a 2004 television special celebrating ABBA’s 30th anniversary and performing alongside original ABBA member Björn Ulvaeus. As an added bonus, the Durango Children’s Chorale and Durango Youth Chorus will perform “I Have a Dream” along with the band. |
