Youngsters take a chance to shine
ABBA MANIA returns to the Futurist on Friday, not long after Mamma Mia became the longest running film ever screened there.
The show, which recently toured Singapore, New Zealand and Australia, is back in the northern hemisphere and spending the summer in Britain.
A promoter says: "Abba's timeless songs were written to be enjoyed live and Abba Mania gives you exactly that – two hours of uplifting, dance-inducing and sometimes heart-breaking songs, fully live with fantastic staging, lighting and effects."
Twenty local children from the Stagecoach drama school will join the cast for two numbers, I Have a Dream and Fernando.
Futurist leaseholder Brenda Stead says: "This will not only give the budding stars the opportunity of working on a local stage but the chance to appear alongside a talented, award-winning cast who have travelled the world and performed in London's West End."
The promoter adds: "The show recreates Abba's sound not only perfectly, but respectfully too. Abba Mania is not only for lifelong, die-hard Abba fans but the new generation of fans, who never had the opportunity to see Abba live."
Abba hits featured in the show include Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Mamma Mia, The Winner Takes it All, Super Trouper, Fernando and Take a Chance On Me.
"If you're looking for an excuse to party, reminisce or simply be entertained by the best music there has ever been, then Abba Mania is for you," the promoter adds.
Abba Mania starts at 8pm.
