In the 1970’s- the Swedish musical phenomenon known as ABBA—Agnetha Fältskog- Benny Andersson- Björn Ulvaeus- and Anni-Frid Lyngstad—succeeded in reinventing the world’s perception of pop. They produced hit after catchy hit- each one instantly recognizable- infectious- and irresistible. Nearly a quarter of a century later- these beloved songs gave birth to the blockbuster musical MAMMA MIA!- which became a legend in its own right. It opened in 85 cities and has since been seen by more than 20 million people throughout the world. This officially sanctioned book tells the double story of the band and the play—and it’s told by those know it best: two of the group’s singer/songwriters and MAMMA MIA! producer Judy Craymer. It’s colorful literally and figuratively- and jam-packed with illustrations from the group’s own archives. Through first-person recollections from ABBA members- intertwined with commentary from the MAMMA MIA! team- Thank You for the Music cuts through the thicket of myths and misconceptions that have grown up around ABBA to reveal what actually happened.***** Hardcover*** 264 Pages**
