Blackpool: Viva Voulez Vous ABBA Tribute Show Ticket

ABBA’s biggest songs are built for a roomful of people singing together, and Viva Voulez Vous leans right into that. You sit close to Blackpool Tower, settle into a reserved seat, and watch the Viva cast handle the songs, costumes, dancing, and audience interaction that make a tribute show work.

I like the reserved seating and table service, since you do not need to abandon your seat every time you want a drink. I also like the three-hour format, which gives the evening enough room for a full concert rather than a rushed run through the hits.

The main consideration is that food and drinks cost extra, and the venue information gives mixed signals about access for people with mobility impairments. It is described as wheelchair accessible, but also marked as unsuitable for people with mobility impairments, so confirm the exact arrangements before booking.

Key points to know before booking

• Doors open at 6.30pm: Arrive early if you want time for pre-show food and drinks.
• Reserved seats are included: You have a set place for the full show rather than finding a seat on arrival.
• Table service runs through the evening: Food and drinks can be ordered from the restaurant and bars without leaving your table.
• The show covers ABBA’s chart hits: Expect a sing-along concert built around familiar songs, dancing, and costumes.
• The venue is next to Blackpool Tower: With the sea behind you, look to the left of the tower for the entrance.
• The price is about $26 per person: That is a fair night-out price if you plan to stay for the concert and use the reserved seating.

An ABBA night beside Blackpool Tower

Viva Voulez Vous is a straightforward evening entertainment choice in the heart of Blackpool. The venue sits next door to Blackpool Tower, making it easy to pair with a walk along the seafront or a wider night out in town.

The location matters because this is not an isolated concert venue that requires a special trip across town. You can find it beside the tower, on the left when you face the tower with the sea behind you. That simple landmark makes the meeting point easier than a vague street address, especially after dark.

The show itself is produced by the Viva team and performed by the Viva cast. The focus is not on a quiet concert with a few ABBA songs tucked into a wider programme. This is a full ABBA tribute built around the band’s familiar catalogue, with singing, dancing, costumes, and direct audience involvement.

That makes the evening a good fit if you want something cheerful and easy to join in with. You do not need to know every song, but ABBA fans will get the most from a programme filled with songs they already know.

What happens from the 6.30pm doors

The doors open at 6.30pm for pre-show food and drinks. The details do not give a fixed performance start time, so check the available date and time when you book, then plan to arrive with enough margin for entry and settling in.

I would treat the early door time as part of the experience rather than a minor detail. You can arrive, find your reserved seat, order something, and get comfortable before the music begins. If you are meeting friends or family, this also gives you a natural window to catch up before the louder part of the night.

Food and drinks are available to buy at the venue. They are not included in the ticket price, so allow for extra spending if you want a meal, snacks, or several drinks. The restaurant and bar waiters serve at your table, which is useful in a concert setting where leaving your seat can mean missing a song.

The seating arrangement also removes one common source of stress. You are not competing for a good view after arriving late or trying to save seats for a group. Your ticket includes a reserved place, and the table service continues during the evening.

The concert: songs, costumes, and crowd energy

The main show is a full ABBA tribute concert. The supplied details do not provide a song list, so you should think of this as a hit-focused performance rather than a concert with a published running order.

The appeal comes from recognition. ABBA’s catalogue gives the cast plenty of chances to move between upbeat dance numbers and big sing-along songs. The format is designed for participation, and audience involvement is part of the performance rather than an afterthought.

The cast are described as the singing and Dancing Queens of Viva, and the show puts equal weight on the music and the visual side. You can expect the familiar tribute-show ingredients: vocal performances, choreography, costumes, and a presentation shaped for a live room.

That is also where expectations matter. This is not ABBA itself, and it is not presented as a chance to hear the original group. You are paying for a polished interpretation by the Viva cast. If you want a relaxed evening of familiar songs, this works well. If you prefer a serious concert with little audience interaction, the enthusiastic format may feel less suited to you.

The current rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 28 ratings. The strongest praise centers on the quality of the singing and dancing, the costumes, the friendly welcome, and the ability of the performers to involve the audience. The comments also describe the service and standard of entertainment as excellent, which supports the idea that the evening is more than a simple impersonation act.

Why the reserved table makes a difference

Reserved seating is one of the best practical features here. A tribute concert can become tiring if you spend the evening standing, queueing, or trying to keep a group together. This setup gives you a fixed base for the full three-hour experience.

Table service adds another layer of convenience. You can order food and drinks from the venue’s restaurant and bars while remaining at your table. I would still arrive early if eating is important to you, since the door time specifically allows for pre-show food and drinks and the performance itself may be the busiest part of the evening.

The service also suits mixed groups. One person can focus on the show, another can order a drink, and nobody has to miss a familiar chorus just to visit the bar. At the same time, remember that the ticket price covers the seat and concert, not the food or drinks.

Is $26 good value?

At about $26 per person, the ticket is reasonably priced for a three-hour evening show with reserved seating. The value improves if you want a complete night out rather than a short stage performance. You are paying for the concert, the set seat, and the convenience of table service, then choosing how much more to spend at the venue.

The price is especially sensible for friends or family who already enjoy ABBA. The songs do much of the work, so you are not relying on a complicated story or a sightseeing guide to justify the cost. The entertainment is direct: sit down, order if you wish, and sing along.

Still, budget for extras. Food and drinks are available but not included, and table service does not mean complimentary service. A person looking for the absolute cheapest Blackpool evening should count the ticket and any purchases together.

I would also compare the price with your own plans for the night. If you are already planning to eat near Blackpool Tower, the show can fit neatly into that evening. If you want a short, low-cost activity with no added spending, the three-hour format and venue purchases may make it a larger commitment than the ticket price first suggests.

What the strongest feedback tells you

The most consistent positive points are the quality of the performances and the friendly way the cast and staff handle the room. One detailed comment specifically praises the singing, dancing, costumes, and overall quality, which is exactly the combination you want from an ABBA tribute.

Audience involvement also matters. The singers are described as friendly and good at getting people involved, so you should expect more than a cast performing toward a silent audience. If you enjoy clapping, singing along, and responding to performers, this is a strength.

The venue service receives similar praise. That is useful because table service can either make a show easier or become a source of delays and frustration. The strong comments about staff and entertainment suggest that the service is an important part of the evening’s appeal.

One serious incident also appears in the feedback. A person reported that their partner became suddenly unwell after drinking, with a concern that the drink may have been spiked. The staff provided immediate help, and the writer praised their professionalism, while hospital care followed.

That account does not establish what caused the illness, but it is worth treating carefully. Keep an eye on your drinks, look after the people you are with, and tell staff straight away if someone becomes unwell. The reported response from the staff was very positive, but sensible care still matters in any busy evening venue.

Who will enjoy Viva Voulez Vous most?

I would recommend this show first to ABBA fans, mixed-age families, couples, and groups of friends who want a lively night out without having to plan a complicated schedule. The familiar songs make it easy for a group with different tastes to join in.

It also suits people who value comfort. Reserved seats and table service mean you can enjoy the show without spending the night standing or making repeated trips to the bar.

The show may be less suitable if you dislike audience participation, loud musical entertainment, or tribute acts in general. It is also not the right choice for anyone expecting the original ABBA members or an exact replica of a specific historical concert.

The listing marks the activity as not suitable for people with epilepsy. It also gives conflicting information about mobility access, calling the venue wheelchair accessible while separately stating that the activity is not suitable for people with mobility impairments. If this affects your booking, contact the venue or provider before paying so you can confirm seating, entry, and movement arrangements.

English is the stated language, and the host or greeter is also English-speaking. No other language option is provided.

Getting there and planning the evening

The meeting point is next door to Blackpool Tower. With the sea behind you and the tower in front of you, the venue is on the left. This is the most useful navigation detail provided, so use the tower as your landmark rather than relying only on a phone map.

There is no transport or parking information supplied with the experience. I would therefore plan your route independently and leave enough time to find the entrance. The 6.30pm opening is a good target for arrival, especially if you want food before the show.

The full duration is about three hours. Since no exact running order or performance start time is given, check the selected date for the current starting time. A three-hour booking can take up much of your evening, so avoid scheduling another fixed activity immediately afterward.

Free cancellation is available up to 24 hours before the experience for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Blackpool plans are still changing.

Should you book it?

Book Viva Voulez Vous if you want a friendly, sing-along ABBA night with a set seat, table service, and a central Blackpool location. The price is fair for a three-hour concert, and the strongest points are the quality of the cast, the costumes and dancing, the audience involvement, and the helpful service.

I would be more cautious if you need confirmed accessible seating, have epilepsy, or want food and drinks included in the ticket. Check those points first. For everyone else, especially a group that knows the songs and wants a simple night out beside Blackpool Tower, this is an easy entertainment choice.
