Dockyard Supper Theatre responds to public demand to bring back popular show.
The popularity of the Swedish group ABBA is probably rivalled only by the Beatles. Since they burst onto the scene in 1974, after winning the Eurovision song contest with their hit Waterloo, they had a stream of hits across a ten-year time span until they finally disbanded in the early 1980’s.
Their music has continued to live on in movies like Priscilla – Queen of the Desert and Muriel’s Wedding, (strangely both Australian films) and more recently Mama Mia, the hit musical using the songs of ABBA.
The Dockyard staged a tribute ABBA as far back as April 2004, whilst still at the Point Waterfront. It has been the most requested show, to bring back, that we have staged to date.
Under the musical direction of veteran muso Bruce Boome, the ABBA hits come to life with unbelievable accuracy. As with the previous production, close your eyes and it’s the real thing. Reproducing the original sounds of music legends has always been the Dockyard’s hallmark.
The show takes the form of a nostalgic trip down memory lane guided by ABBA stalwarts, Benny Anderssen and Bjorn Ulvaeus, played by none other than local “ballies” Stuart Mey and Bruce Boome. The songs are performed by the award winning Dockyard Show Band featuring newcomers Kerry –Lee Mc Kibbon who starred in her debut in Let’s get this party started and yet another Dockyard discovery, Kieran O’ Brien.
The show is scheduled to run until the end of February. Tickets R100 Wednesday to Saturday (R70 on Sundays and Tuesdays). These prices are for the show only and do not include a meal.
The Dockyard launches a brand new menu with the ABBA show which will incorporate all the usual fare such as steaks, seafood, poultry as well as vegetarian options, but will now include smaller, less expensive menu items, such as burgers and baskets, for the not so hungry and various specials such as T Bone steaks and fresh line fish from time to time.
For more details or bookings, call the Dockyard on 031 201 9147.
