I don’t know how, when you lump them all together in a montage, the works of the ’70s pop band ABBA add up to a story about a bride’s search for her real father — one of three men who slept with her mom back when. Dunno why the musical made of a Swedish band’s songs is set on a Greek isle. Have not a clue why this musical, Mamma Mia!, has grossed billions of dollars. Having no wedding anniversary or significant other’s birthday coming up in June means I may die without ever learning these things. I’m pretty OK with that. You poor bastards who are just dating? Or have an anniversary in June? Well, have fun if you wind up at the Music Hall at Fair Park (1121 1st Ave.) for a performance from the touring cast of Mamma Mia!, the hit Broadway musical. It’s here June 3-15, and tickets, available from Tickmaster, start at $25.25. Really, it’s been seen by millions, so how bad can ABBA + musical + 2.5 hours + plot about a wedding be? Don’t tell me. Don’t want to know.
Mondays-Sundays, 7:30 p.m.; Wed., June 4, 1:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 1:30 p.m. Starts: June 3. Continues through June 15, 2014
