We welcome Mania – The ABBA Tribute! From London’s West End to Las Vegas, Mania is the world’s number one touring ABBA tribute and has performed in over 35 countries around the world, delighting millions for more than two decades.
It has been a sell-out success at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End in 2021 and across an 80-date tour of the USA in 2022/23.
Featuring an extraordinary cast of talented musicians and performers, Mania: The ABBA Tribute delivers an authentic and unforgettable tribute to the legendary Swedish band that has captured the hearts of fans for generations.
In an exhilarating two-hour recreation of ABBA’s last ever concert, Mania brings to life the flamboyance of the 70s and all the uplifting, dance-inducing and sometimes heart-breaking songs from the ‘Supergroup’, fully live with fantastic costumes, staging, lighting and effects.
Celebrating the 50th anniversary of ABBA’s breakthrough hit single Waterloo in 2024, Mania is the perfect excuse to party, reminisce or simply be entertained by the best music ever. So dig out those platforms, dust down those flares and enjoy all your favourite hits including Mamma Mia, Voulez Vous, Dancing Queen, Winner Takes It All, SOS, Fernando, Does Your Mother Know, Super Trouper and many more.
Take A Chance On Mania…..and you won’t be disappointed!
