Of course, with a jukebox musical it's really all about the music. The ABBA catalog provides a rich vein of songs, and this cast really delivers on the music and the storytelling, with sterling performances from top to bottom. Highlights of the performance included Donna, Tanya (Jalynn Steele) & Rosie (Carly Sakolove) belting out Dancing Queen while singing into curling irons and blow dryers, in a scene that is reminiscent of everyone's teenage years, and Sophie and Bill (Jim Newman) singing a poignant The Name of the Game. Steele delivers an absolute show stopper with the energetic Does Your Mother Know - it showcases both her tremendous vocal chops and incredible dancing ability. It's definitely the high water mark of the second act.
