The Musical Based on the Songs of ABBA: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Recording (1999 London Cast) (more) »rank: 56 by: Benny Andersson, Julian Poole, Jenny Galloway, Nicolas Colicos, Paul Clarkson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Lisa Stokke, Eliza Lumley, Melissa Gibson, Siobhan McCarthy, Louise Plowright, Jenny Galloway, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Stig Anderson : :Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import ...	Buy Now	Chess (more) »rank: 7060 by: Bjorn Ulvaeus, Tim Rice : :Chess is a musical that sounds like it shouldn't work but instead succeeds surprisingly well.

Buy Now	Chess (1988 Original Broadway Cast) (more) »rank: 20323 by: Bjorn Ulvaeus, Tim Rice : :It was a success in London but a bomb in New York in 1988, but Chess's cult reputation has only grown over the years--quite a feat for a dramatic musical about love and cold war politics at a chess tournament! While Tim Rice's lyrics aren't too shabby, Chess owes it all to the team of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, a.k.a. the BB in Abba. Their score has the drama that makes for good musical theater, and it doesn't shy from canny pop hooks either. 'One Night in Bangkok' ...
