Party' will come to London's The O2 as of late spring 2019

London/Munich, 31 August 2018. CTS EVENTIM, one of the leading international 
providers of ticketing services and live entertainment, has been named 
exclusive ticketing partner for the London production of 'Mamma Mia! The 
Party'. The innovative immersive concept, which is centred on the biggest 
hits of legendary Swedish band ABBA, has been running successfully in 
Stockholm since January 2016 and will be staged in London's The O2 starting 
in late spring. 
 
The exact date of the ticket pre-sale via EVENTIM UK will be announced in 
due course. More than 200,000 tickets for 'Mamma Mia! The Party' will be on 
sale annually. 
 
Klaus-Peter Schulenberg, CEO of CTS EVENTIM, commented, 'The fact that we've 
been invited to support such a groundbreaking format like 'Mamma Mia! The 
Party' is a great recognition. I firmly believe that the show in London will 
seamlessly build on its overwhelming success in Stockholm. We want to do our 
part to ensure that as many visitors as possible will enjoy the timeless and 
joyful music of ABBA.' 
 
The plot of 'Mamma Mia! The Party' is inspired by the musical and the film 
of the same name, which was filmed on the Greek island of Skopelos. 'Mamma 
Mia! The Party' has an even more immersive approach: as guests of a Greek 
taverna, visitors watch the story of Nikos, the owner of the taverna, and 
his family play out before and around them, while enjoying a Mediterranean 
three-course meal. They even have the opportunity to dance along to ABBA 
songs. 
 
Executive Producer of 'Mamma Mia! The Party' is ABBA co-founder Björn 
Ulvaeus. Explaining the story behind the show he states that "Mamma Mia!' 
has been a wonderfully surprising success for us in both a musical and movie 
format, because they put people into a party mood through the joyful songs 
of ABBA. 'Mamma Mia! The Party' has been created to let guests continue 
enjoying the party and enjoy being part of the show themselves. We have been 
sold out for almost three years in Stockholm, so I am thrilled to be able to 
bring 'Mamma Mia! The Party' to London with our new partner, CTS EVENTIM. 
Let the fun continue!'
