Abbey Paige Williams has a dream! If only she’d completed her ambitious to-do list, she might have achieved it by now..

Ever found yourself belting out Dancing Queen after a few too many cocktails on the dancefloor? Abbey has. She’s a passionate dreamer trapped in the head of an overplanner, who journeyed through Europe with a busted suitcase in the name of glamour and planned her Super Trouper hens night at age 10.

This show is a nostalgic and heartfelt journey that explores self-discovery, empowerment, and the pursuit of a vibrant life through the beloved music of ABBA. Filled with personal stories and ABBA's iconic hits like “Mamma Mia” and “Gimme Gimme Gimme,” this show becomes a love letter to the band, inspiring you to embrace the magic that life has to offer.

If you adore disco, “Mamma Mia the Movie,” and appreciate a colour coded to-do list, you'll love this show. So grab your sparkliest outfit and join Abbey for an evening on the town. You might just be crowned the Dancing Queen!
