Les Miserables, was NOT an ABBA-Related musical, Mamma Mia was, but not Les Miserables
here's the thing.
Mamma Mia songs were written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and performed by ABBA.
Les Miserables songs were written by Alain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel, with an English-language libretto by Herbert Kretzmer.
Both musicals were adopted into Universal movies in 2008 and 2012, both starring Amanda Seyfried.
Mamma Mia! is the successful stage and film musical that incorporates the music of ABBA, but it's not really based on the music. (The story concerns a young woman lving in Greece who wants to find her real father before she gets married.)

Of course there are two movies in which Abba's music is central. Abba: The Movie (1977), one of the first films directed by Lasse Hallstrom, is based on the band's Australian tour that year. And Mamma Mia! (2008) is based on the stage play inspired by Abba's music.Beyond that there are two important cult films in which Abba's music is important. Muriel's Wedding (1994) features five Abba tracks. (The lead character dreams that her life can be just as perfect as an Abba song.) And The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, about a couple of drag queens on a cross-Australia odyssey, features the song "Mamma Mia" as its finale. Both films are credited as helping to revive Abba's popularity in the 90s.Abba songs have been featured in the soundtracks of several other films, notably "Does Your Mother Know" in Johnny English(2003); "Take a Chance on Me" in Get Smart (2008) and "Dancing Queen" in I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007).
