In 2010, a very curious piece of furniture was bought from a Chester auction house, on account of its elaborate carving. Upon delivery, the owner thought it was not Victorian, as advertised, but early Tudor.

Following the huge success of the Mad About Abba stage show and film, Voulez Vous have produced their 21st anniversary concert to include the hits from this international phenomenon.

This brand new production is a collaboration of video projections from the smash hit film Mamma Mia! that cleverly merge into Voulez Vous’ own live interpretations of ABBA’s hits.
