This is a fun, enjoyable movie. Not with standing the ABBA music, it is an excellent screenplay. The acting/singing is superb by all. Would I go and see it again? In a heartbeat. Have never seen the stageplay, but plan to when I go to Vegas next year. You will definitely enjoy yourself by going to see this movie. It is uplifting, colorful, and lighthearted. If you don't tap your feet to beat of the songs, you'd better see a Doctor---cause you may be comatose.
