Hide AdLisa Devine, who is organising the event for the rotary club, said: “This romantic comedy is set on a beautiful Greek island with the backdrop of iconic music from ABBA.
"It’s a really fun and uplifting night out and the audience is invited to sing and dance along to the songs and enjoy the chance to dress up as their favourite film character or member of the group.”
All proceeds will go Warwickshire charity The Friendship Project for Children, which matches children who are in need - for a variety of reasons - with adult volunteers for friendship and fun.
Founded in 1986, the charity has helped more than 1,000 children throughout the county.

The children may be caring for a sick parent or be limited to where they can go on holiday because of a disabled sibling or other family member.
Having some time out from often difficult home situations can really improve their self-esteem and self-worth.
