If you’ve been counting down the days until MAMMA MIA! The Musical arrives in Abu Dhabi, here’s something to get you in the mood: a one-day-only Mamma Mia-themed beach party is set to take over Fahid Beach Club by Barbossa this Saturday, May 17, 2025.

Running from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM, the event promises a full dose of disco beats, sandy dancing, and plenty of classic ABBA hits — all timed perfectly with a golden Abu Dhabi sunset.

 

This beachside celebration is open to all, whether or not you’ve got tickets to the musical. But there’s a bonus if you do — ticket holders will enjoy 20% off food and drinks during the party. If you haven’t got yours to the show, you can still get tickets to MAMMA MIA! via Platinumlist.

Expect a soundtrack of feel-good favourites spun by DJ Sean, a selection of Mexican-inspired eats, and a laid-back vibe designed for both ABBA devotees and casual partygoers. From Dancing Queen to Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! and Voulez-Vous, the playlist will be packed with the Swedish group’s biggest hits.

Held just a few weeks before the MAMMA MIA! stage production kicks off in the capital, the event gives fans a festive sneak peek into the world of Sophie, Donna, and their unexpected guests on a Greek island full of secrets, emotion, and of course, song.

Whether you’re a lifelong ABBA fan or just looking for a fun, musical way to spend a Saturday night, this themed party offers a relaxed lead-up to one of Abu Dhabi’s most anticipated shows of the season.
