In its three-and-a-half-year run at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London, ABBA Voyage has done some serious business. It's taken about £250m (€284m), played to 3.5 million people and had been worth about £2bn (€2.27bn) to the local economy. On December 8, I became its latest stat.
Twenty-two songs, costumes changes, a 10-piece live band and proof positive that to men of a certain age the debate over “who is your favourite?” has carried on into the digital/hologram age. And it's Agneta obviously, no wait, Frida! No wait! Agneta! No! Frida!
