Mamma Mia! The Party at the O2 2024: What is it, dress code, how to buy tickets, and is it worth it?
Here we go again! Are you ready to dance, jive, and have the time of your life at Mamma Mia! The Party? Here’s exactly what to expect from the immersive experience everyone’s been talking about.
We have a dream, a fantasy, to help us through reality, and it involves lounging on a beach in a sunny climate to escape the chilly British winter. While that dream is very much a fantasy, there is another way to escape this February and it involves an all-singing, all-dancing ABBA immersive experience. Intrigued? Step right this way.
Are you ready to venture to the island of Skopelos to dance, dine, and sing? As the sun sets, you’ll take your seats at a family-run taverna to enjoy a delicious four-course Greek meal while Nikos's family’s story plays out around you. Then, you’ll jive the night away at an ABBA disco that would rival the most glittering of Eurovision performances. While you’ll not technically be in Greece — minor details — this Greek holiday experience will be one to remember for many tricks of time.
It’s a little known fact that Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad — better known together as ABBA — travelled to Cyprus together and performed to United Nations soldiers stationed on the island. It’s a more well-known fact that ABBA’s big breakthrough came when they won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with their hit Waterloo.
The pop music legends have gone onto become global stars, with nine UK number ones, 18 consecutive top ten singles and over 385 million records sold worldwide, as just some of their achievements.
While ABBA have never completely disappeared from popular culture — just take a look at the hugely popular Mamma Mia! film franchise — in recent years, Mamma Mia! I Have a Dream competition and ABBA Voyage experience have been the talk of the town.
With ABBA Voyage, the RadioTimes.com Going Out team answered all of your questions about the immersive experience, and you can count on us to do the same with Mamma Mia! The Party, including the all-important question: ‘is it worth it?’.

What is Mamma Mia! The Party?
When it comes to ABBA experiences, Ulvaeus probably said it best: “I always thought Mamma Mia! had a party feel to it… and I have a feeling that people want to get out and party now more than ever."
At Mamma Mia! The Party, you’ll step onto the island of Skopelos and watch a story unfold around you; the tale was created by comedian Sandi Toksvig, and it follows Nikos, Kate, Adam, and Konstantina as they attempt to navigate love and family life in the tavern.
As this heart-warming and funny story is performed around you, you’ll be tucking-into a freshly-prepared, four-course Greek meal. Options include a traditional Greek mezze and Greek salad, a confit lamb shoulder and slow-cooked beef with roasted garlic potatoes, and a Greek lemon cake with tea and coffee to finish. Or, vegetarian and vegan guests can enjoy a roasted cauliflower and stuffed tomato with lentil ragout dish for your main, and loukoumades (dough balls) served with fig jam for dessert.
After the sun has set on the story, the desserts have been eaten, and the drinks are flowing, the town square is transformed into a sparkling disco! The rest of the night is yours to sing and dance along to ABBA classics; get ready to belt out the words to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and show off your finest moves to Dancing Queen.

Is Mamma Mia! The Party just ABBA songs?

Mamma Mia! The Party is made up of exclusively ABBA songs, and you'll be able to experience your favourite tracks, such as The Winner Takes It All and Does Your Mother Know?, like never before with a live band and dance floor.

Is there a dress code for Mamma Mia! The Party?
SOS – we have a fashion emergency! The official Mamma Mia! The Party website doesn’t have any guidelines on the dress code, so we’ve scoured the internet for you. The general consensus is that people tend to wear smart casual clothing: smart enough for dinner and comfortable enough for dancing afterwards.
You might’ve noticed that a lot of people dress-up in ABBA costumes when they visit ABBA Voyage, and it looks like a few people do at Mamma Mia! The Party, but not the majority.
The main thing at any event like this is to feel comfortable, so if that’s all-out sparkles or ABBA-themed wear, then absolutely go for it!

How long does Mamma Mia! The Party last?
Mamma Mia! The Party is a theatrical immersive experience, so is a little different to a traditional theatre show. Doors open at 6:30pm for evening performances and at 12pm for matinee performances, and all shows last approximately four hours, sometimes even longer for those of you who want to dance the night away.
On arrival, you’ll be shown to your table, and you’ll have the chance to enjoy a welcome drink and a starter before the show begins.
