Mamma Mia! The Party

Mamma Mia! The Party is a show staged at The O2 in London, built around the songs of ABBA in a party-style format. It is presented on this visit to London for several dates.

The production takes the music of ABBA as its basis and turns it into a celebratory evening rather than a conventional play with a narrative arc. Its tone is light and lively, and the programme centres on the sing-along songs that audiences tend to know well, staged with a focus on movement, costume and a sense of occasion.

The O2 is a large multi-purpose venue on the Greenwich Peninsula, used for concerts, shows and sporting events. Its arena layout means the staging and sightlines are designed for a big audience, so the experience is closer to a live show than to a small studio performance.

The show suits anyone who enjoys ABBA's catalogue and wants a sociable night out, including groups of friends and those attending with family. It works as an entry point for people new to the music as well as for long-standing fans who want to hear the songs performed live in a big-room setting.
