Agnetha Then and Now | home
Stockholm Mamma Mia Premiere
All 4 ABBA members arrived seperatly to the Cirkus theatre in Stockholm Saturday February 12, 2005.
They also sat in different places and after the
performance only Benny and Björn went up onto the stage.
Fans were hoping all 4 would stand together, but that wasn't the case this time.
At least they were all 4 seen at the same time and place!
Ludvig, Benny and Mona Andersson.
Tomas Ledin, his wife Marie(Anderson, Stigs daughter) and children.
In the lobby Frida Lyngstad Ruess
Greeting Görel
Her dress was interesting! Fairly see through in places. It was quite lovely.
"It would be unfortunate to judge the whole evening by those odd couple of
pictures because when the show started
she was clearly enjoying herself, singing and moving around to Dancing Queen and really,
at one point, having 
it large as we say here.
The lady enjoyed herself, no question about that, and I'm sure it must bring back good memories as well as the unfortunate incidents
on arrival and when she got inside.
I couldn't see Frida but she always seems to enjoy herself and I gather she was sitting to left on the opposite side of the auditorium to Agnetha.
What happened was that Agnetha was in a sort
of boxed in area to the side, surrounded by
friends and with security a little further away. There was a crowd, certainly, but a very small one and it was dispersed quite effectively. Someone said to me last night they'd been nearby and heard Agnetha say something
like 'the show's over there, not here'.
Review by ABBAMAILer Cliff Docherty, Wembley, UK
This is the reaction Agnetha gave after the show. She didn't want the attention on her.
She felt it should have been directed towards the show, not her.
"From where I was sitting, (5 metres away above and to her side), I could look down at her and see that she was enjoying the show. The 5 minutes before the start was a little frantic, but well mannered. There was no pushing or shoving.
I had Agnetha in eye shot all through Mamma Mia.
She liked it, clapped her hands like us to the songs, laughed at the jokes etc.
Those pictures, misrepresent the night totally. She did not feel mobbed, security was fine. The headline that she "fled after the show" is a little too strong.
Yes she left immediately, but it was not because of the "sweaty obsessed crowds"...
