| Ask Carl Magnus Palm I believe you have an interesting story about Benny contacting you when Mamma Mia! was being produced for Broadway? Can you elaborate on that?
CMP: I'm not sure it's so interesting, but anyway: He called me up because he needed my help to prove that the original ABBA songs were performed by a relatively small group of musicians. I believe this was because the union rules for Broadway productions stipulates a minimum number of musicians, and the Mamma Mia! production in actual fact required less than that, plus it would be less expensive with fewer musicians. So I provided him with a list of the musicians who played on each of the songs. Ask another question |
