A BRAND-NEW venue for Mamma Mia! The Party is set to be built in a major UK city.
It will be the third venue in the world and the second in England.
It’s been proposed that a new dedicated venue be built in Medlock Square in Manchester.
Medlock Square is the city’s entertainment district where visitors will find Co-op Live and the Etihad Stadium.
Inside, the venue would be space for 600 people to watch the theatrical show that is set up to look like a traditional Greek taverna.
Currently there are only two ‘Mamma Mia! The Party’ venues in the world – one in Stockholm and the other at the O2 Arena in London.
It would mean that those who are a fan of ABBA living in the North of England wouldn’t have to trek down to London to see the show.
And while it’s still in its early stages, it could become a reality as the plans have been recommended to go ahead by the council.
Jessica Koravos, the Chief Executive of Pophouse, said: “Manchester is known for its innovation in music and entertainment and we cannot think of anywhere better to bring one of the world’s most popular and ground breaking theatrical productions.
“Mamma Mia! The Party has been hugely successful in London and we are excited to be able to expand on that success.”
Unlike ABBA Voyage – which is another themed experience, Mamma Mia! The Party is a little different.
Visitors sit down for a three-course meal all the while feeling like they’re in a restaurant on the island of Skopelos.
Around the diners, a story unfolds and there are many ABBA songs to enjoy from Mamma Mia to Dancing Queen, and lesser-known ones too.
When the show comes to a close, it’s still not over as there’s a disco where all guests can have a dance too.
Ticket prices for Mamma Mia! The Party start from £122.
