Here's the thing about regular movie screenings: they're just a bit too... quiet. Too orderly. Too sensible. So, we’ve turned the beloved Mamma Mia movie musical into a loud, joyful, fully immersive cinema party hosted by the fabulous entertainers from Tone & Cheek.

Expect the film on the big screen, shadow dancers performing the iconic moves live, drag queens leading conga lines and the audience singing ABBA classics at full volume. The entire theatre becoming one glorious Greek island celebration. 

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the sing-along, this is cinema at its most fun - interactive, outrageous and overflowing with joy. Grab your friends, pre-order a pizza or BYO food, visit the licensed bar and get ready to sing, dance and party.
