The Swedish pop group, ABBA, has sold over 500 million records worldwide, making it one of the best-selling music groups of all time. The two film versions of the musical “Mama Mia!” has surged the group’s popularity, especially among younger generations.
On Saturday July 24th, ABBAFab brings their #1 Tribute to ABBA back to the stage at HHT. This was one of the first shows lost in the Covid shutdown, and ABBA fans have been anxiously waiting for the group’s return.
The ABBAFab show brings this dynamic pop group to life with a multimedia flair. The show highlights ABBA’s top hits from the 70’s and 80’s, including “Waterloo,” “Fernando,” “Honey Honey,” “Dancing Queen” and so many others. Based in Phoenix, the group features Anne Davies, Chelsea Faulds, Scotty Pearson, Nick Davies and a stellar lineup of musicians.
Performing around the world, ABBAFab dresses in nostalgic costumes with perfectly timed choreography and flawless harmonies. The banter between the artists between songs only adds to the fun experience. Tickets will sell out fast for this one. This band will ROCK the house!
In their 2018 appearance at HHT, the band was delighted to find many young smiling faces on the dance floor. This year’s return is guaranteed to be another sing-a-long party!
