If you\u2019ve ever found yourself singing along to \u201cDancing Queen\u201d with the windows down or turning up \u201cMamma Mia\u201d every time it comes on the radio, get ready–Lubbock<\/a> is about to turn into a full-blown disco dance floor!<\/p>\n

\"93.1<\/p>\n

MANIA: The ABBA Tribute<\/a> is coming to the Helen DeVitt Jones Theater<\/a>, delivering a high-energy, two-hour recreation of one of ABBA\u2019s most memorable concerts. The show takes fans back to ABBA\u2019s final concert performance, celebrating the music and spectacle of the Swedish supergroup that defined an era.<\/p>\n

Recreating an Iconic ABBA Experience<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t just a tribute band playing covers. MANIA: The ABBA Tribute goes all in, recreating the look, sound, and feel of ABBA with authentic costumes, staging, lighting, and effects.

ABBA dominated radio in the 1970s, and their music has never gone out of style. While many tribute acts have popped up over the years, MANIA has been standing out since 1999, building a reputation as one of the most faithful and polished ABBA tributes touring today.<\/p>\n

A Performer\u2019s Passion Brings the Show to Life<\/p>\n

Veteran performer Alison Ward, who portrays Agnetha F\u00e4ltskog, has been part of MANIA for more than 14 years. A Liverpool native, Ward says the joy of the show never wears off.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe basically recreate one of ABBA\u2019s biggest concerts,\u201d Ward said. \u201cWe\u2019re in very sparkly costumes, using Swedish accents, and taking people back to that time.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Ward, ABBA\u2019s music is deeply personal. She grew up listening to \u201cDancing Queen\u201d and later fell in love with the \u201cMamma Mia\u201d musical. Now, she gets to bring that music to life on stage every night.<\/p>\n
