ABBA Alaaf

A musical comedy featuring big hits and beautiful furniture

Double anniversary celebration: 50 years of IKEA in Germany AND ABBA’s Grand Prix victory. If that isn’t a reason for store manager Inka to throw a huge party at her local IKEA in Cologne, I don’t know what is. 
The ABBAtars from London are supposed to perform—you know, the holograms from the original ABBA shows. The plan is perfect, but the execution—well, not so much. The projector for the big company event fell off the truck—Uppsala… Now the staff has to come up with something. Well, things have always worked out in the end…
Anke from Småland has a brilliant idea: “Let’s just do it ourselves!” 
But eating köttbullar isn’t enough, and whether Anke, Inka, forklift driver Klaus, and Erwin—who was ditched by his wife at the thrift store—will turn into “Super Troupers” to “Dancing Queens,” or if it all ends in a “Waterloo” among the BILLY shelves—The Winner Takes It All! Or at least it’ll give us something to laugh about!

A rousing comedy set in a furniture store featuring ABBA’s greatest hits.
