The music of ABBA is about to take Burlington by storm when Burlington High School presents the smash hit musical, "Mamma Mia!" March 22-31, in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center.
An enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, "Mamma Mia!" combines the timeless songs of ABBA (one of the most commercially successful acts in the history of pop music, ruling the charts from 1974-1982) with Catherine Johnson’s feel-good tale of family and friendship that unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they had last visited 20 years ago. It’s a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget!
"Mamma Mia!" is jam-packed with pop tunes by ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Anderson. The juke box musical rocks over 20 hits including “Dancing Queen,” “The Name of the Game,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Super Trouper,” and the title song, “Mamma Mia.”
