Tribute show chance to be dancing queens
New cast member joins Abba tour for 33 performances
New Zealanders will be able to dance their way into the festive season this year when Dancing Queen: A Tribute to ABBA tours from November 4 to December 19.
Direct from Australia, the welltravelled show returns for its first New Zealand performances since 2020 and will stop at 33 venues in 46 days.
The show brings new cast member Brit Jess Driver — in the role of “Agnetha” – to perform alongside Australian Zac Coombs as Bjorn and South Africans Giselle Bouwer as Anni-Frid and Andre´ Behnke as Benny.
Producers, Showtime Australia, used the forced “downtime” during the recent pandemic to revamp production on the show so even repeat attendees will find the show fresh and fun.

The show promises over two hours of ABBA’s biggest hits each night, all performed live on stage by a hand-picked eight-piece international cast, with world-class production and visuals to accompany.
Tracks such as Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, Waterloo, Knowing Me Knowing You, Money Money Money, Super Trouper, SOS, Fernando, VoulezVous, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Chiquitita, The Winner Takes It All and Thank You for the Music have all
