There is a very loose storyline to tie together the reason for including 27 Abba’s hits in the show. Because Abba’s songs are so much a part of all of our lives, this show is just sheer pleasure for most of us. Abba member Bjorn Ulvaeus is one of the producers. He says “: "This idea has been talked about for several years but it was only when I was with my wife and kids at the West End production of Grease that it struck me we could do it. I thought that if we could make it like that, with a proper story where the songs come into the story naturally, it could be family entertainment. There is so little of that and I thought it would be a wonderful idea to do it. …..Those lyrics of ours were always about relationships and they were little stories within themselves. The story is about Donna, the mother, and Sophie, the daughter, on the evening before the daughter’s wedding. It looks at the differences in viewpoints between the generations. Wonderful songs, uplifting evening.
