ABBA
They were on the top when I was a little girl and teenager. Although I wasn't a fan of it, I liked listening to their music and dancing on it.
They finished to play music together, but the ABBA phenomenon is seemingly unstoppable.
Two years ago I saw the musical "Mamma Mia!" in London.
Although the story is flat, the performance, the music, the singers are amazing.
It was one of the most fantastic theathrical experiences I've even seen!
You tend to sing the songs together with the actors and actresses, you are just about to leave your seat to start to dance, and at the end of the show you feel your adneralin level is soon reaching the maximum.
Then after some extra songs you happily join the other spectators to celebrate the actors and actresses with standing ovation.
Last year when I was in Geneva there was a party in a posh resort.
After having such an enormous experience in London, we went there as there was to visit a band of two girls and boys who travel around Europe singing ABBA song.
Right after we had arrived we got a company. The place seemed to be the club of the famous and/or well-know people. When we mentioned the guy that we weren't famous so if he took a photo of us, it might never worth a wealth and might be not more then the costs themselves, he became disappointed.
At about 10 in the evening the band appeared on the small stage and all the guests turned towards them. Then they started to sing. And you felt to be at an ABBA concert or to be in the theather watching the musical Mamma Mia!.
Although there was no place for dancing, more than half of the guests were doing it.
This party also was a gorgeous experience. The second one.
At the very first week of 2007 I heard and read that the international tour of Mamma Mia! is in Budapest in October.
Although no one in my surrounding is interested in watching the musical, I am dallying with the idea to get the third experience of ABBA.
Three years, three phenomenal experiences.
Hope so.
