MANIA (formerly ABBA
MANIA) formed in 1999 and the show has been selling out theatres and concert
halls internationally ever since. This show has toured the world in its quest
to bring the music of the Swedish ‘Supergroup’ to their millions of fans, old
and new!
In 2007 it grossed
over Aus $1 million at the box office in Sydney, Australia. The show has
ventured to France, Denmark, Belgium, Spain, South Africa, New Zealand,
Singapore, USA, Australia and South Korea as well as touring the UK
extensively.
The show has been
successfully touring the USA annually since 2009 with over 400 performances,
many of the venues book the show every year as it has become a ‘tradition’ for
both the show and the audiences. The thirst for this sensational recreation of abba’s
concert is getting stronger every year.
Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny
and Anni-Frid, collectively known as ABBA, dominated the charts for nearly ten
years and enjoyed nine UK number 1 hits. At their height they became Sweden’s
highest export earners, amazingly, outselling Volvo cars. ‘ABBA Gold’ was
continuously in the Album Charts throughout the nineties and is one of the
biggest selling albums ever.
ABBA’s timeless songs
were written to be enjoyed live and MANIA gives you exactly that. Two hours of
uplifting, dance inducing and sometimes heart-breaking songs, fully live with
fantastic staging, lighting and effects. The show recreates ABBA’s sound not
only perfectly, but respectfully too. MANIA is not only for life long, die hard
ABBA fans but the new generation of fans, who never had the opportunity to see
‘ABBA’ live. Hits include ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Waterloo’, ‘Mamma Mia’, ‘The Winner
Takes it All’, ‘Super Trouper’, ‘Fernando’, ‘Take A Chance On Me’ and many more
that continue to fill dance floors worldwide.
