ABBA’s Mamma Mia! The Party Is Coming to Australia
The immerse, all-ABBA dining experience is booked for its Australian premiere in March 2027 at Sydney Event Centre at The Star.
ABBA fans in Australia will soon have the chance to enjoy a full ABBA experience with the upcoming Mamma Mia! The Party in Sydney. Created by ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus, this immersive theatrical dining event recreates the atmosphere of a taverna on the Greek island of Skopelos, where the film was primarily filmed. Guests will be treated to Mediterranean cuisine and a live band and cast of 20 musicians and performers performing many of ABBA's hits.
As the evening concludes, the room transforms into a 1970s-style disco, allowing fans to live out their "Dancing Queen" dreams.
The Australian premiere of Mamma Mia! The Party is scheduled for March 2027 at Sydney Event Centre at The Star. Executive produced by Ulvaeus and Pophouse Entertainment, and TEG Dainty in Australia, this event holds special significance for Dainty. He played a pivotal role in promoting ABBA's first and only Australian tour back in 1977 and is now entrusted with bringing Mamma Mia!
The Party to the country 25 years later. Dainty, a British-born concerts veteran, also has the option to produce the popular ABBA: Voyage in Australia.
Australia has a deep-rooted love for ABBA, with the group's music becoming part of the country's cultural fabric. ABBA was a fan favorite even during shifting music tastes, and their music has experienced a resurgence in recent years. The Australian tribute brand Bjorn Again has been catering to ABBA fans since the late 1980s, and the 1990s indie film Muriel's Wedding further introduced a new generation to the group's catalog.
In 2021, ABBA's first studio LP in 40 years, Voyager, was an immediate hit in Australia, topping the ARIA Albums Chart.
Tickets for the Sydney experience go on sale on November 12, and fans can join the waitlist at mammamiatheparty.com.au. This event marks the third city to host Mamma Mia! The Party, following Stockholm and London, and is projected to welcome over 1,500 performances and 700,000 diners.
