Burlington has a way of pulling you in before the show even starts. Drive up, find the Flynn, walk Church Street for an hour — by the time the lights go down you are already in the right mood for a night like this.
On Wednesday, October 21, 2026, MANIA: The ABBA Tribute returns to the Flynn Center for the Performing Arts at 7:30 PM. This is a return engagement — the official announcement literally reads “From London’s West End to Burlington,” which means they have been here before and they are coming back for a reason.
About MANIA: The ABBA Tribute
Formed in 1999, MANIA bills itself as the world’s number one touring ABBA tribute — and the credentials hold up. Over 3,000 live concerts in 35-plus countries on every continent. Two West End residencies (2002 and a month-long run at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre in May 2021). Annual US tours since 2009, including an 80-date sold-out North American run in 2022/2023 and a sold-out 100-date USA national tour in 2023/2024.
The show runs about two hours — full live band, energetic choreography, costumes that commit fully to the 1970s. Approximately 19 songs across multiple sets with an encore. Ticketmaster reviewers rate it 4.3 out of 5 stars from 989 reviews. One attendee said the cast “captured the sound of the original ABBA.” Another said they “definitely knew how to get our butts out of the seats and dance and have fun.” The Sunday Mirror called it: “Beware of imitations… this is the real musical tribute.”
The repeat audience is devoted enough to have its own name: Maniacs.
About Flynn Center for the Performing Arts
The Flynn Center for the Performing Arts is a 1,454-seat performing arts center at 153 Main Street in downtown Burlington — right in the heart of the North Country. It is exactly the right room for a production like MANIA: big enough to fill the energy, built for the kind of full-stage touring show this is. Arrive early and let Church Street do its thing before the doors open at the Flynn.
