Sweeney Entertainments proudly present ABBA Forever.

ABBA Forever are recognised as one of the best live recreations of ABBA Live in Concert. Theatre audiences worldwide have long enjoyed this superb recreation of possibly the world‘s greatest pop band. A considerable landmark in their career was their sixth sell-out theatre tour of Sweden, the home of the original supergroup, ABBA.

In their amazing live show, the unique ABBA sound is replicated with incredible attention to detail, using a six-piece band featuring electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards and piano, drums, and bass guitar. Two outstanding ABBA girls complete the line-up, adding the essential glitz and glamour to a well-polished and gently humorous show.

The wonderful lyrics penned by Benny and Bjorn are sung in wonderful harmony by all six performers on stage. Dynamic non-stop choreography, stunning visuals, top class musicianship and an all-live performance ensures that the ABBA Forever show captivates audiences whenever they take to the stage.

Packed full of excitement and exuberance, dazzling costumes and authentic lighting design, ABBA Forever will take you on a journey back to the 70’s; the show is guaranteed to delight - from the opening refrain to the final sing-along chorus.
