THE world’s longest-running ABBA concert show is coming to Dorset to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Swedish super group’s biggest selling hit – Dancing Queen.

The song was number one in 13 countries and ends the international stage show Thank You for the Music, now in its 23rd year.

Show producer Michael Taylor said: "Combining Lycra-tight harmonies with superb musicianship, Thank You for the Music has outlasted ABBA in their prime.

“Dancing Queen represents the pinnacle of the group’s career, and we have produced a brand-new show rocking the sound of the right music for 2016.”

The set list, drawn from ABBA’s nine number one hit singles, nine chart-topping albums and 19 top 20 singles in the UK, includes solid-gold hits like Super Trouper; Waterloo; Mamma Mia; Thank You for the Music; Gimme, Gimme, Gimme; Knowing Me Knowing You; Mamma Mia and, of course, Dancing Queen.
