I like Abba - a little at a time. Well, I'm like that with most music - I rarely listen to an entire CD of anything.
Mamma Mia is great. Glad that Asia is getting to see and hear it.
Waterloo - what a surprise (costumes are great too). Love it.
Yes!! I had never seen this Waterloo performance until I found it on YouTube. When Napoleon walked in I'm sure they got everyone's attention!
ABBA was considered too commercial in the political climate that Sweden was engulfed in around that time in the mid 1970s, but in the last 10-15 years there has been a lot of revival and appreciation.
Glad you liked it.
