Do you like Abba?
I remember growing up and singing Dancing Queen in my bedroom with my friends using hairbrushes and whatever else was available as microphones. Image what fun it was to see the musical Mamma Mia this past year and watch them do that on the stage.
It was corny, but enjoyable fun. I will admit that I’m looking forward to the movie.
And now I find out there’s a chance to recreate that Dancing Queen experience, as part of the movie lead-up Pond’s is running a contest for woman over 40 (yep, that’s me!) and two friends to audition as a real-life Donna and the Dynamos.
The winning trio get to go to London for the world premier of the movie!
To enter you need to either make it to NYC on April 28 to audition live, or send them a video of the three of you by April 30.
I don’t have the guts to actually do, but it you do, let me know and I’ll vote for your video!

LOL. That was a great post to read first thing in the morning. If you haven’t seen the movie Muriel’s Wedding, I highly recommend it. There are some great Abba fan scenes in it, too.

Yes, I do.My older brothers had 5 or 6 of their albums. I still listen to them on occasion.
