Joburg Theatre welcomes audiences to kick off the year with the spectacular toe-tapping musical tribute, “Dancing Queen: A Tribute to ABBA.”

This high-energy show promises to bring the timeless music of ABBA to life, with performances running from January 31 to February 16, 2025.

ABBA’s music is synonymous with joy, nostalgia, and dance-floor memories. Known as one of the most successful pop groups of all time, their timeless hits like “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” and “The Winner Takes It All” have transcended generations.

At the heart of the tribute is Jessica Driver, who shines as Agnetha Fältskog. Driver, a graduate of the Stageworx School of Performing Arts, joined the show in 2022 and has since toured internationally.

“It’s a full-circle moment,” said Driver. “We toured Canada and Singapore, and it’s amazing to bring this show back home to South Africa.”

She described the tribute as “energetic, fun, and concert-like,” adding that it’s a celebration of ABBA’s unforgettable lyrics and harmonies.

From bell-bottom pants to white ABBA boots, the show’s costumes are a dazzling tribute to the 1970s. Each outfit captures the group’s unique style and elevates the concert’s lively atmosphere.

Driver shared, “The costumes are glam and glitzy. They perfectly match the energy of the show, and the audience will feel like they’ve been transported back in time.”

“Dancing Queen” isn’t just a concert; it’s an interactive experience. Audiences are encouraged to dress up, sing along, and dance to their favorite ABBA tracks.

“This show is perfect for a girls’ night out, a family outing, or even a romantic date night. You’ll leave feeling energized and nostalgic,” Driver enthused.
