BJORN AGAIN REVIEWS. HERE'S THE RESULTS OF OUR OVERNIGHT SURVEY.

72% RATED THE PERFORMANCE "REALLY GREAT," 19% AS "PRETTY GOOD," 2% AS "JUST OKAY," 7% AS "POORLY DONE" AND 0% AS "HATED IT. HERE ARE SOME RANDOM REVIEWS...

"Loved it. Interaction was superb. People were dancing, waving, showing the lights on their cell phones in their seats. Dynamic, sexy, fun, hated to see it end."


"Prepare to be cast back to 1977!"


"Saturday night at the beautiful Spencer Theater featured BJORN AGAIN, THE ABBA EXPERIENCE. The music certainly appealed to the largest majority of the audience who had come to PARTY! Arms waving to the beat; voices raised in familarity with the 1970's lyrics and all taking advantage of the opportunity to stand up and DANCE! And that was just the first half! You coud feel the audiance excitement grow during the second half. The musicians appeared to also gain more energy. This audience made up of both the ABBA generations and those of the MAMA MIA! generation found common ground in BJORN AGAIN. Thanks to the Spencer for a fun and envigoring evening!"


"Great audience participation, good looking gals with flair, and guys who do pretty good at Beatles songs... the audience loved it."


"Bjorn Again was channelling ABBA. Costumes were colorful and fun to look at. Music was so familiar and rollicking. Audience was energized."


"The Bjorn Again tour brings ABBA to life again. I purchased tickets immediately, anticipating a lovely stroll back to my high school days. When the evening arrived, my only hesitation was what to wear--my usual Spencer finery? or something befitting the performance--hot pants & halter top? mini skirt and baby doll? polyester suit? When the performers appeared on stage in silk pjs and knee high boots, I wished I had been more daring. The music was gloriously transcendant. For two hours, I was a teenager again--impulsive, uninhibited, sexy. I even cheerfully observed surrounding ancients singing and swaying and cheering the provocative onstage interactions. When old and young alike dance in the aisles, you know there's something magical and divine about a thing. And there's something divinely magic about ABBA. Thank the Lord that I've been Bjorn Again."


"If Bjorn Again has 5 touring groups, they sent the worst one to the Spencer. While they sang all the favorites, the rendition lacked the pure, sweet, harmonic crispness of the originals."


"Amazing cast. Involved the audience. They sang all our favorite songs. We loved it."


"Fabulous, filled with energy, positive vibrations everywhere. Most audience participation I have ever seen."

"As close as you can get to the original ABBA."
