🎬 Behind the Curtain: A Fresh Creative Team

This isn’t just a revival—it’s a reimagining.

  • Danny Strong, Emmy-winning writer, delivers a brand-new book.
  • Michael Mayer, Tony-winning director, leads the production with bold vision.
  • Lorin Latarro, acclaimed choreographer, brings movement and life to the staging.

The team has crafted a concert-style revival, blending the intimacy of live performance with the thrill of a rock opera.


🎶 The Music That Moves Generations

The score, written by ABBA legends Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus with lyrics by Tim Rice, remains the heart of the show. Expect soaring ballads like “I Know Him So Well” alongside iconic anthems such as “One Night in Bangkok”.
