Abba Mania @ Kingsbury Hall (Salt Lake City: November 11)

ABBA MANIA Brings Original Abba Tribute Show to Kingsbury Hall

October 25, 2010: If you’re looking for an excuse to party, reminisce, dress in your best 70s discowear or simply be entertained by the best music there has ever been, don’t miss the world’s number one touring Abba tribute concert in its one-night-only stop in Salt Lake City. ABBA MANIA will perform at Kingsbury Hall on the University of Utah campus on Thursday, November 11 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $29.50 and are available by calling 801-581-7100 or visiting www.kingtix.com.

Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anna Frida, collectively known as Abba, dominated the charts for nearly ten years and enjoyed nine UK number one singles. At their height they became Sweden’s highest export earners, amazingly, outselling Volvo cars. Sadly, in the early eighties, they decided to go their separate ways, but their music lives on. ‘Abba Gold’ was continuously in the Album Charts throughout the nineties and is one of the top-selling albums ever.

Abba Mania formed in 1999 and the show has been selling out theatres and concert halls internationally ever since. This show has toured the world in its quest to bring the music of the Swedish supergroup to their millions of fans, old and new! Abba’s timeless songs were written to be enjoyed live and Abba Mania gives audiences exactly that – two hours of uplifting, dance inducing and sometimes heart-breaking songs, fully live with fantastic staging, lighting and effects.

Abba Mania is not only for lifelong, die-hard Abba fans but the new generation of fans, who never had the opportunity to see Abba live. Hit after hit include ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Waterloo’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘The Winner Takes it All’, ‘Super Trouper’, ‘Fernando’, ‘Take A Chance On Me’ and many more that continue to fill dancefloors worldwide.
