Mamma Mania! Brings ABBA Tribute Show to the Niswonger on March 15


VAN WERT, Ohio — The music of ABBA is coming to the Niswonger Performing Arts Center next month as Mamma Mania!, a New York City based ABBA tribute band, takes the stage Sunday, March 15 at 3:00 p.m.

The group will perform a collection of ABBA’s best known hits, including “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” “Take a Chance on Me,” “Fernando,” and “The Winner Takes It All.” Organizers say the show is designed as a full celebration of the ABBA era, complete with authentic costumes, choreography, and the harmonies that helped make the Swedish pop group a global phenomenon.

“This is exactly the kind of show that makes a Sunday at the Niswonger special,” said Jarin Hart, Executive Director of Van Wert LIVE, noting the music’s ability to connect generations and create a family friendly sing along atmosphere.

The performance is presented by Roger and Kay Okuley and is part of the Niswonger’s schedule of national touring entertainment.

Tickets are available online at VANWERTLIVE.COM. Tickets can also be purchased by calling the Niswonger box office Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 419-238-6722.
