STARRING the original 'Frida' from the London West End cast of ABBAMANIA, the ABBA Reunion Tribute Show is coming to Shanklin Theatre this month.

The show has been created by Vikki Holland-Bowyer, who played Frida but was also the director, producer, and choreographer of the award-winning ABBAMANIA.

Vikki said she was spurred on by the four members of ABBA saying for years that they will never re-form.

“With this in mind,” she said, “the producers – The Reunion Group – decided they would give the fans the next best thing. . . and not just another ABBA tribute show.

“The Abba Reunion Tribute Show gives ABBA fans the opportunity to get together and re-live the addictive ABBA phenomenon that swept the airwaves and discos during the seventies and eighties in a truly feel-good, party-style concert.”

From Mamma Mia to Dancing Queen, the show commits to perform, from both an audio and visual perspective, all the hits with unrivalled authenticity, complete with a live band.

“There is a huge focus on the 1977 and 1979 live world tour footage plus the iconic pop videos that feature the famous flamboyant costumes and dance moves,” said Vikki.

“Visually, the performers are transformed into Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn and Anni- Frid (Frida).”

Each character has been studied by means of video clips of both live and studio performances to mimic the movements and mannerisms, enabling a true-to-life presentation.

The show is on at Shanklin Theatre on Saturday, April 30, at 7.30pm.
