Newsletter - 2008 Concert #3
ABBA: The Hits
Even if you don’t know the name of each group member, you’ll
most likely know their music. ABBA has sold 370 million albums since
the group hit the charts in the mid-70s. Their popularity has hardly
faded as the years pass; they continue to sell 2 to 3 million albums
a year. ABBA: The Hits is a musical story performed
by the Swedish tribute band Waterloo together with our own Alabama
Symphony Orchestra. You’ll be hearing Mama Mia, Dancing
Queen, Knowing Me Knowing You, and many more. This
promises to be one of the most popular Music at McClellan concerts
ever. See more about Waterloo at
www.abba-the-show.com
ABBA Trivia: The name "ABBA" is an acronym formed
from the first letters of each of the group member's given name
(Agnetha, Björn, Benny, Anni-Frid). To learn more about ABBA
visit www.abbasite.com

If a full evening of ABBA isn’t enough, watch for the July opening
of the movie Mamma Mia, a screen adaptation of the hit musical of the
same name. Visit www.mammamiamovie.com.
