Award-winning cabaret star, Xnthony and STREETFOODZZZ are joining forces to create a very special ABBA-inspired party to celebrate the groundbreaking new pop concert experience ‘ABBA VOYAGE’.
Introducing ‘Dancing Queens’, the all new ABBA-inspired ‘after’ party taking place at Snoozebox Hotel, a glittery hop, skip, and jump away from the ABBA Arena. Prepare to be dazzled by ABBA’s discography and cabaret twirls as we celebrate the return of the Swedish pop titans and the premiere of their groundbreaking sold-out ABBA Voyage show.
‘Dancing Queens’ is a night of ABBA-inspired glam and glitter. QX caught up with Xnthony for a bit of banter and some background to the show.
How is Xnthony going to participate in the show?
Xnthony, that’s me, will be glammed up, providing the people what they need: glitzy and gas remakes of ABBA hits with a theatrical, camp twist! Imagine ‘I have a Dream’ remixed into ’Sweet Dreams’ Annie Lennox Style. We’re bringing an exciting perspective on ABBA classics while paying homage to their genius. I’ll be compering throughout the night while we bring you on a brilliant journey from a hula hooping Cher impersonator (not ABBA strictly but Cher-ing is caring), to death dropping bearded drag queens!
Who’s going to be in the lineup?
We’ve got West End debutant Freddie Love, moustachioed hot ride drag star Faux Jolie and Lipsync 1000 finalist Luspinda with her massive HOOPS! I’m joined by comedian star Harriet Braine on the night too. And there’s me. The centre of your world.
Is there a twist, for example will you be revisioning the ABBA story?
We are revisiting and remaining lots of ABBA hits, bringing a theatrical edge to them, reminding you about how great the stories contained in those songs are. You’ll be singing along by the end. Pure and simple, this is ABBA joy at its best!
Tease us with some surprises that we can look forward to.
I’ve already given too much away!
It’s an eatery, is there a menu on offer?
There will be food and bespoke cocktails inspired by ABBA, glitz and glam.
Is it more of a dance party rather than food and show, how will that work?
The show will take place in segments framed by food and drink, witty banter and cabaret! You can eat if you want to but you’ll be focused on us.
People will notice it’s an outside space, and it’s end of May. Do they have heaters and covers, etc?
Yeah, there are heaters and covers, and I’ve checked the barometer, it’s gonna be HOT!
Make your way to Stratford and hop on the DLR to Puddling Lane, Pudding! That’s where you’ll find the ABBA Voyage Stadium. Dancing Queens is just a glittery hop skip and jump from the show!
So start shopping for something sparkly and green ASAP babes! xxx
