  4. On Theater: Two enduring shows offer comfort viewing

  5. 'Mamma Mia!' dances into theaters

    M<i>Y 9-YEAR-OLD </i>son asked me the other morning why I was dancing around the breakfast table singing &quot;Take a Chance on Me." I don't usually sing in the morning. I definitely don't dance. And I didn't know I knew any ABBA songs (I've never actually bought an album), but there they were -- "S.O.S," "Dancing Queen" and "Mamma Mia" -- bouncing around in my subconscious, like unmoored neurons, suddenly revitalized by an infusion of "Mamma Mia!," the big-screen adaptation of the musical, which I'd seen the night before.

  7. ABBA set reveals more than one-hit wonder

    Did ABBA ever make a bad record? For fans of the Swedish group's nearly two dozen U.S. hits, including ear candy like "Dancing Queen" and "Mamma Mia," it's probably hard to imagine anything not being close to irresistible. Sure enough: a new, nine-disc...

  8. ABBA redux, one more time

    Special to the Tribune
