Get ready to relive the glory of ABBA’s timeless hits as Abba Forever takes the stage for an unforgettable night of music, energy, and nostalgia at University Concert Hall on Thursday November 21.
Formed by the celebrated musician and director Dennis Scally, Abba Forever has grown into one of the most acclaimed ABBA tribute acts in Europe. Scally, a virtuoso keyboard player and longtime industry powerhouse, brings decades of experience to the show.
Based in Los Angeles for 15 years, he was the musical director for The Supremes before returning to Europe to form Abba Forever.
With Rae Daniel on lead guitar, Abba Forever brings the authentic, infectious energy of an ABBA concert right to the stage. Daniel, known for his stellar work on London’s “Mamma Mia” Show, shares the spotlight with Scally in a captivating duet of lightning-fast guitar and keyboard licks, adding an electrifying edge to the group’s live performances.
Fronting Abba Forever are vocal powerhouses Lucinda O’Connell and Marie O’Hara, both seasoned performers with years of experience in musical theatre.
Lucinda shone as Mary Magdalene in “Jesus Christ Superstar,” while Marie graced touring productions of Grease, Phantom of the Opera, and more.
Together, they bring a perfect blend of charisma, stage presence, and vocal mastery, even earning standing ovations last year as they performed tracks from ABBA’s latest album, which topped charts in 46 countries worldwide.
Expect to hear every fan favourite, from “Waterloo” to “Dancing Queen,” and the full range of ABBA classics including “Mamma Mia,” “S.O.S,” “Money, Money, Money,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!,” and many more. This show is more than a tribute; it’s a dynamic celebration of ABBA’s enduring legacy, complete with iconic costumes, infectious beats, and stellar performances.
So, brush up on those lyrics, slip on your dancing shoes, and get ready to sing along to the best party in town!
