With many musicals and movies celebrating their music, we thought it was time, once again, for Celebrations Dinner Theatre to have some ABBA fun. We’re taking all the best of the ABBA music and movies and putting them into one classic Celebrations Dinner Theatre parody romp. Our amazing cast of top Canadian talent will surely get you disco dancing and singing along to your favorite ABBA songs… and maybe even a few other disco classics as well!
