Ulvaeus thought of the idea after attending a theatre performance of Mamma Mia! and seeing how the show galvanised people to get out of their seats, dance to the music, sing along to the songs and generally have bloody brilliant time. This inspired him to create a place where people can drink and dine and be part of the show, partying on into the night.

The setting for the experience is an imagined Greek taverna, owned by local landlord Nikos and his family, who are more than ready to greet guests and make them feel welcome.

Throughout the evening, surrounded by olive trees and a courtyard fountain, an audience of 500 guests will watch the story play out while they enjoy a full sensory experience, eating Mediterranean food, having a few drinks and dancing along to ABBA songs performed live.

An immersive Mamma Mia! experience is coming to London
