It was an unexpected delight to enjoy an evening here in Windsor at the Chrysler Theatre with the WSO (Windsor Symphony Orchestra - Geoffrey Larson as the conductor ) and Jeans n’ Classics. They were paying homage to one of my favourite all time bands, ABBA. Balcony seats were perfect for a great view.
The large glittery disco ball set the stage and it was exciting to see the WSO performers getting ready with their instruments. The lead vocal performers of Jeans n Classics were all powerhouses and had enough shimmer and sass to share their own heartfelt renditions of ABBA songs throughout the decades.
Many songs were played from the vast ABBA catalogue that were and probably still are on people’s playlists like Mamma Mia, Super Trouper and Waterloo. It was beautiful to hear Chiquitita, I Have A Dream, SOS, and The Winner Takes It All, especially with the orchestral touches that just elevated the whole experience.
Were there songs that didn’t get played? Of course! Bill would have loved to hear his favourite; The Visitors and for me, definitely Angel Eyes.
Of course, you couldn’t possibly end an ABBA show without Dancing Queen! One of the most popular and crowd-pleasing hits from the band which got everyone up singing and dancing – some even in the aisle on the main floor.
The only thing left to say is Thank you for the music! 🎶
