Super Troupers A Tribute to ABBA, Bee Gees and the 70’s

What do ABBA and Bee Gees have in common? Both groups ruled the world in the 70’s with their monumental music and have become best selling artists of all time, selling more than 200 million records each!

The Barnyard Theatre Productions introduces a tribute to two of the most influential pop groups of our time, namely the Swedish pop sensation ABBA and the singing trio of brothers known as Bee Gees.

Beyond the tight pants, blow-dried hair and sequins, it is the catchy song hooks, simple lyrics and beautiful melodies of the superbly crafted songs which continue to endure more than 30 years later.

Super Troupers features an awesome 10 piece cast that covers all the hits of the two super groups starting with the early days of Bee Gees in the late sixties with harmonic soft rock hits such as Words, I’ve Gotta Get a Message to You, Massachusetts, New York Mining Disasterand many more.
