Mamma Mia! The Party at the O2 Review of the biggest immersive dining experience in London

Dec 18 2019

I review lots of London attractions, so it is difficult for me to be wowed about anything. But I got indeed super excited when I recently went to the O2 to try a new immersive dining experience called Mamma Mia! The Party produced by Björn Ulvaeus, an original member of the iconic Swedish pop group ABBA, and Ingrid Sutej. I knew it was a dinner with a show but little did I know about the incredible energy and fun vibe that this experience had.

Essentially this unique entertainment and dinner experience puts guests at the heart of the action, with a spectacular show, four-course gourmet Mediterranean meal and an ABBA disco all-in-one.

Some fun facts about Mario Bros

Dec 18 2019

You sure know Mario. My 13 year old son has been a fan since he was very young. Not because I allowed him to play with the playstation but because he played every time he went to any play date. Mario Bros has to be the most recognisable character from a video game. If I can remember it, anybody does. After all, the chubby, moustache hero has won millions upon millions of fans over the past three decades to become the ultimate gaming icon. And not without a good reason for it, as it brings all that is needed to make a good game. As the gifting season approaches, I am exploring what makes Mario Bros so charming.
