«ABBA Voyage is incredible,» wrote one on Twitter. “It’s amazing, and the creative risks that Benny and Bjorn have taken are breathtaking. It’s very emotional and about aging, frailty and loss as much as it is about the joyous preservation of youth.»

«Incredible show!» said another. “Sound, Light, ABBAtars. You have to see it to appreciate how groundbreaking it really is.”
