Thank You for the Music

Thank You for the Music
An ABBA & Queen Tribute
10 September – 11 October 2026, on selected dates | The Barnyard Theatre, Emperors Palace

ABBA and Queen are two of the most influential pop and rock groups of all time. This spectacular Barnyard Theatre Production takes you on a trip through space and time in the 70s and the 80s when glitz, glam and some of the greatest pop tunes ever written emerged.

Thank You for the Music features an 8-piece cast that covers all the hits of the two super groups, featuring songs from the days when ABBA lit up the music scene with their first hits Chiquitita and Waterloo, after which they followed on with countless pop anthems such as Does Your Mother Know, Mamma Mia, Take a Chance on me, as well as the power ballad – The Winner Takes it All.

We then pay tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of all time – Queen, featuring one of the greatest voices in the history of rock – Freddie Mercury. You can look forward to the uplifting anthems such as Don’t Stop Me Now and I Want To Break Free and The Great Pretender, from Mercury’s solo career. The unforgettable hits We Are the Champions, Who Wants to Live Forever and A Kind Of Magic add an electrifying flair to the show.

The show also pays tribute to the Broadway Musicals associated with these groups as we celebrate the hits from Mamma Mia and We Will Rock You. Experience the power of – Bohemian Rhapsody, and the fun of – Dancing Queen.

Thank You for the Music is about showmanship, charisma, harmony and the power of two pop and rock groups uniting together in one mind-blowing concert.
