Mamma Mia, ABBA is here.

Showtime Management is bringing The ABBA Show to Rotorua's Civic Theatre this Saturday as part of a 15-city New Zealand tour.

While the show won't feature the 'real' members of the jumpsuit-clad singing group who gained huge popularity in the 1970s and 1980s, performer Giles Tingey said the show was the closest thing audiences could get to seeing the the Swedish pop band perform live.

The international cast of Tingey, who plays Benny Andersson, James Childs, Giselle Van Grinsven and Hannah Pocock will perform some of ABBA's greatest hits such as Dancing Queen, Money, Money, Money and Fernando.

Tingey said the show was bound to get people up and dancing.

"It's a show that people from 7 to 70 can enjoy. I think that's why ABBA was so popular, it's music that appeals to everyone," he said.

He encouraged people to dress up in 1970s gear to "get into the spirit" of the show.

"It's just really great seeing people enjoying themselves, getting dressed up and dancing to the music."

Tingey said the show was not just about the live music but about the costumes, lights and theatrics and the way everything came together to create what he described as a "spectacular show".

Tickets for Saturday night's show are available from Ticketmaster.
