MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY, which has been 'bopping non-stop' in Stockholm for nearly four years has arrived at the O2 in London.
And, trust me, it is going to be just as successful.
This is a wonderfully exuberant, and hugely enjoyable, dinner show that takes Mamma Mia the Musical to a natural all singing and dancing pinnacle of theatrical performance.
This is because we guests are as integral to the evening's experience as are the musicians and performers.
And boy, are we are all having a great time.

We are on the Greek island of Skopelos (where many of the exteriors of the first MAMMA MIA! film were shot) and in a taverna run by Nikos and his wife Kate.
The excellent house band has embraced the island's ABBA influence with gusto and far prefer to play the Swedish groups music to the traditional Greek alternative.
Nick's staff members are as talented as singers and dancers as they are at waiting tables.
During the evening we enjoy a three-course Mediterranean dinner and embrace an unfolding storyline regarding the stop start love between Nick's daughter Konstantina and Kate's nephew Ada.
This, as with the MAMMA MIA stage and film versions, weaves in renditions 35 of ABBA's greatest hits. You name it they will be performing it at some time during the evening.
It all ends happy for Nick and Konstantina and for the rest of us as we end the evening on a high with an ABBA disco in the taverna.

It is going to be really difficult to find anyone attending MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY who is not a fan of the group's music, with many having already embraced the stage musical - at least once.
As a result, we all know the tunes, and most of the words, and we are therefore 'chomping at the bit' to get the party started.
And so from the first musical number to the last we sing, sway and clap along, laugh at the innocent humour while enjoying fine fare.
MAMMA MIA THE PARTY works so well because we are all in this together - and loving it!
