'You can dance, you can jive': ABBA tribute band headed to the Pabst Theater

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- One long-running tribute to iconic Swedish pop band ABBA  is heading to the Pabst Theater to kick off their latest national tour.

'MANIA - The ABBA Tribute' has been performing at theaters and concert halls across the world after forming in 1999, with the goal of bringing the music of ABBA to a new audience. The group tells CBS 58 that their name is to offer "two hours of uplifting, dance-inducing and heart-breaking songs, fully live with fantastic staging, lighting and special effects."

They aim to transport the audience back to the 70s and 80s with renditions of some of ABBA's biggest hits. Expect to hear crowd-pleasers such as "Dancing Queen," "Waterloo," "Mamma Mia," "Take a Chance on Me," "SOS" and more at the Pabst on Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 8 p.m.

Jeff Pike, who plays the role of ABBA's chief composer Benny Andersson in the tribute, joined us on Wednesday, Jan. 18 to discuss the show and what fans can expect.
