The show itself was fabulous however the dance floor was a standing area with absolutely NO personal space .
This smacks of GREED, sell a few less so customers can move ! Also this is an intimate venue with no ventilation / a perfect breeding environment for viruses .
This was part of my 60th celebration and a treat after going through breast cancer and aggressive chemotherapy .
To cap it all I tested positive to COVID this morning which has to be attributed to overcrowding . THANKS FOR THAT 😫

I will not be recommending .

I paid 105£ to see abba look like a sims 4 extension pack. The lighting is insanely incredible I would to see this at a real live concert

Abba voyage absolutely amazing. Graphics music lighting atmosphere totally awesome .highly recommended

All ruined by one usher who threatened mid show to throw one our party out for taking 1 picture. Other people were videoing and constantly taking pictures. This was just 1. There are pictures and videos all over the internet. Posted since it started. No - you are not suppose to take photos, but many people do. No trying to forgive her for taking a photo - but threatening to eject her mid show. Come on. And such a shame as the rest of the staff and the experience was incredible. I’d go elsewhere. Never had this in any other London Theatre.

I don't get it. Over £100 to be squeezed into a venue and paying vast amounts of money for over-priced food and drink. The graphics, while impressive, are still not to the point where you wouldn't realise that they are computer generated (the hand movements in particular are a long way away from where they need to be). Half the songs are obscure Abba songs rather than the hits you may be coming to see and the middle part of the show is some random cartoon of a character flying through space and jumping up and down on massive flowers, like a high-budget Mario. Waterloo should be the highlight of the show, but some screens come down and we just watch them singing the song at the Eurovision song contest in 1974

Of course, YMMV, but if this is the future of live entertainment as many professional reviewers claim, then the future of live music is dark indeed

Looked forward to this show for a while but it was a bit anti climatic for us. Disappointed the show did not contain more of the ‘older’ more popular ABBA songs. The animation in the middle of the show was confusing. Live band was too loud. Duration 90 minutes - too short. Abbatars were good although not absolutely synced at times. Eurovision item was just a clip. We were seated but the dance floor in front of us was seemed very packed. Lighting was amazing - we did enjoy that but expected more from the music. In our opinion ABBA Voyage is definitely not worth the ticket price. Also the recommendation to ‘arrive early’ is an obvious marketing ploy to get people in to buy the overpriced merchandise/food/alcohol. Programmes £15 - no thanks!

I thought the seated tickets overpriced.We would have had as much or as little enjoyment at a three dimensional cinema screening .Tricky to reach venue, why does everything have to be London based?Not recommended

Went 31st March - we had 4 tickets £530 and then had 4 people stand/dance in the row infront of us from the second song onwards. We asked the stewards and the manager to get them to sit but they refused to sit, also gave me a load of verbal when I asked them to sit. Sent a number of emails after the event but had one reply which was totally inadequate. I see others on here have had similar issues. Disappointed they can’t deal with this. Just ignored.

Cost £186.40 for two tickets. We’re told to be on time as couldn’t enter late to spoil the performance…what a joke we were BL G row A…it was a thoroughfare…people were allowed back and forth to buy drink all through the performance, it was so frustrating and distracting, all about making money. I was very disappointed at the length of performance, choice of songs, almost half the show was taken up with cartoons, video and backing singer. I admit the lighting and special effects were amazing but I was left flat and disappointed . So few of the hits …obviously saving them for ABBA Voyager 2!
Tried to contact Ticket Master as when I booked no mention of hundreds of people would be walking backwards and forwards past the seats….but unable to find any contact details!

Unique Experience!

We were looking forward to the show after hearing all the hype and it was definitely a unique experience.
You would actually think ABBA were performing live.
The old video footage used for Waterloo was disappointing as we’ve already seen it in TV, plus we couldn’t understand why some songs were shown as a video with the Abbatars performing along side…..just show the Abbatars.

Truly an experience worth seeing and as we left we waved goodbye…..and my Son commented, ‘Why are you waving….they’re not actually there!’ 😂

Lucky to have seen this a 2nd time however were on row K. Not wanting to spoil it however the 'flying discs' and 'coloured rain drops' did get in the way as they were very distracting.
If you go, I'd suggest a low as seat as you can.
Sadly, my 83 yr old father was told he couldn't use the nearby toilet and had to walk around the centre, through throngs of people trying to leave to get to one.

Fantastic show well worth a visit , seating and venue were clean and great view , friendly and helpful staff , make a run for the loo though after the show has ended as there were huge queuing

Far too expensive for a fake show. Lighting and technology were excellent, but poor choice of songs and strange choice of sing order. The audience were just waiting to really enjoy an upbeat ABBA classic to get them going, but instead of that, we had two dismal unknown songs to start with which dampened the atmosphere badly. The best bits were when the abbatars were on stage - albeit very, very small - but a good third of the time it was nonsensical cartoon type footage or just videos of ABBA singing. I found myself thinking repeatedly that I could have stayed at home and watched that. The sound was far, far too loud, to the point of hurting the ears so you couldn’t hear the songs properly. We found the whole thing slightly odd, especially when people were clapping and cheering ‘ABBA’ after they sang a song. We could not stop thinking of them as holograms, so it seemed strange to be treating them as if they were real. On the whole, we’re glad we went, but felt it was very over-rated, vastly overpriced and a bit weird and far too short a programme for the price. We saw a tribute band a few years ago in a large theatre and they soon got the audience going, whereas this show turned out to be a very damp squib in comparison.

ABBA voyage we loved.. the Ocean departure lounge is an absolute rip off.. some olives & cold charcuterie & some donuts & sponge cakes was not what was advertised no goody bag.. no program a bottle of water.. DO NOT WASTE YOUR £99 absolute sham..😡

From start to finish it was absolutely amazing. Oh what a night to remember. I took my daughter for her 18th birthday. Some of the songs were so personal to her . We loved every second. We were on the dance floor & we never stopped dancing & singing. We got dressed up just loved loved loved it. It was packed but while dancing just careful I didn't knock anyone. Would definitely recommend it. Happy memories forever 💖

Really disappointed!.The holograms were amazing when you did get to see them which wasn’t for a vast amount of the performance.
They sang many of their new songs which I don’t have a problem with but not at the cost of some of their classics.The running order of the songs didn’t work,there were a couple of cartoons for two of the songs that I just didn’t understand.
The live band were incredible but they completely sang/played “does your mother know”,I went to see ABBA!
They showed old video footage of themselves singing various clips of Waterloo,which I could’ve watched at home.
And many songs we just had huge screens with them in rather than the holograms or they had huge mesh like screens with them on with the holograms playing on stage behind them.
Loved the stadium and the arena itself.
All in all very expensive for what it really is.

Very average show,I was in seated area and felt the pain of those on the dance floor,they were crammed in with no space to move only shuffle.the abbatars were amazing and the lasers fantastic but poor choice of catalogue and sound quality was just not good.Far to many vidioes took away any feel of a live show..way to expensive ticket price for a very avarage show ...

The worst customer service I have experienced. We bought tickets for £500 and because I went to the bathroom I was not allowed back in for the beginning of the show. When I asked why the manager pulled me aside and told me I would not have access because I was rude. Very aggressive approach and I did my see the show. Shocking experience all about the management power. £500 is a lot of money to spend on a show and to be treated like like this is shocking, just because I I asked why and said it would be good to explain to guests don’t go to the bathroom or you miss the opening act.

Be warned - the dance floor is indeed a floor but there’s absolutely no room to dance. Packed in like sardines. No personal space whatsoever and the view is rubbish unless you are over 6ft. If you’re near the back you can only expect glimpses between people’s shoulders. Show was good but the overall experience was not. Very poor value for money and the organisers should consider restricting dance floor tickets by a good couple of hundred to allow people to enjoy themselves.

I was at the 3pm show this afternoon. I had paid for the Departure Lounge also. I was at the concert alone. The staff were outstanding from the moment I arrived. The wonderful member of wait staff in the Lounge (I think he told another customer his name was Jason), was an absolute sweetheart. I had 2 rum punch cocktails & lovely charcuterie, cheese & nibbles. The concert itself was mind-blowing. I was actually emotional at the very end, just the sheer nostalgia of it all. The sound was excellent. Superb live band & backing singers. The Abbatars were fabulous & the choice of songs excellent (though so sad they didn't include The Name of the Game). I'm fairly certain I'll be revisiting this experience!
