Innovative theatrical and dining experience Mamma Mia! The Party is now taking bookings from ABBA-hungry diners hoping to visit the Greek island-themed venue in the heart of London up to 2 October 2022.
Co-created by ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! The Party returned to its specially-adapted venue within London’s O2 last October with a new menu created to bring the finest Greece has to offer to diners.
The London cast includes: Fed Zanni as Nicos, Steph Parry as Kate, Linda John-Pierre as Debbie, AJ Bentley as Adam, Julia Imbach as Kostatina, Allie Ho Chee as Bella, Kimberly Powell as Nina, Dawn Spence as Grandma and Gregor Stewart as Fernando. They are joined by Oscar Balmaseda, Jonathan Bentley, Molly Cleere and Jessica Spalis. The musicians are John Donovan, Luke Higgins, Kathryn Tindall, Steve Rushton and Mark Pusey.
A sell-out success since it opened in Stockholm in January 2016, the London version of the immersive theatrical and dining experience originally created by Ulvaeus, director Roine Söderlundh and writer Calle Norlén, is co-directed and choreographed by Stacey Haynes and Söderlundh.
Set within a typical Greek taverna, the show features new characters, a new story, songs from the smash hit musical Mamma Mia! plus extra ABBA hits by Ulvaeus and his songwriting partner Benny Andersson (with some songs by Stig Anderson). The original version was adapted for the UK by comedian and broadcaster Sandi Toksvig.
The creative team includes set designer Bengt Fröderberg, lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe, sound designer Gareth Owen, costume designer Annsofi Nyberg, with music supervision by Robin Svensson and casting by David Grindrod for Grindrod Burton Associates.
Mamma Mia! The Party is executively produced by Björn Ulvaeus and produced by Sally Davies for U-Live.
