Yes!! I was there and it was great! Before the show started, I looked
at the program to see what we were in for. The listing of "Dancing
Queen" caught my eye, and I thought: "Oh no. Please don't. Not disco!"
But there was a transformation on stage. It was true ABBA form. They
performed the song note for note. My fear turned to musing and then to
joy as people began to dance around. It was crazy and fun and electric.
Good times.
