This sold-out, entertaining musical highlighted hit songs from ABBA and had everyone in the audience wanting more! Cast and crew members creatively told the story of Sophie, a bride-to-be who wants to find her father. Through music and dance, Sophie discovers the true meaning of friendship, life, and most importantly, the joy of what love can bring. The vibrant and colorful set, incredible singing, and dynamic dancing made this musical one of the best musicals ever performed at Immaculate Heart Academy!
