The show features nine incredible musicians and singers who not only look exactly like the original ABBA, they also sound unbelievably like them. The show contains 21 of ABBA s hits, with all the costume changes, choreography, a live band, back-up singers, and big studio sound. For more than 40 years, a time span more than any other group in pop history, the Bee Gees have been outwitting the international music scene with their incredible tenacity to remain current through all time spans of contemporary music. The vocal match of the current performers creates an eerie sense of seeing the Gibb brothers live in concert. The Canadian production Stayin Alive is a unique recreation of one of the top acts in music history. Backed by a live band, this production is a great hit with audiences of all ages.
