The hit ABBA musical that has inspired 2 films and countless productions all over the world finally retired its American national tour after 20 years.
The 5th Avenue Theatre was one of the first large scale musical theatre companies to obtain the rights to put on a brand new production. With all new original sets, costumes, and almost entirely local cast, the production played in Seattle to sold out crowds.

Reviews
“Sarah Rudinoff as Donna's feminist friend Rosie could not be more perfectly suited and hilarious. And her performance of "Take a Chance on Me" brought down the house. I've seen several renditions of this one and finally I've seen one where it doesn't look like Rosie is trying to trap Bill while Bill is trying to flee for his life from the terrifying monster. THANK YOU!”

“Ms. Rudinoff is always a pleasure to watch no matter what she does. She brings her natural comic abilities to her role, with a strong voice and wonderful timing. Opposite Matt Wolfe, they match up like two kids in a sandbox.”
