After a gathering in Birmingham marred by civil war over her Chequers blueprint, the PM made light of her own woes as she insisted she has a positive vision to match that of bitter rival Boris Johnson.
As 'Dancing Queen' by Abba played, Mrs May emulated her famous dance moves from a trip to Africa last month and received rapturous applause from the party faithful.
In a reference to last year's conference debacle when letters fell of the set behind her, she then joked that she had been up late sticking the backdrop together with superglue.
Mrs May pointed to a new 'global' immigration system, crackdown on property investors from abroad, and fuel duty freeze as evidence that she can make the country work for ordinary people.
'I passionately believe that our best days lie ahead of us and that our future is full of promise,' she said.
'Don’t let anyone tell you we don’t have what it takes: we have everything we need to succeed.'
The hotly-awaited conference speech could be a make or break moment for Mrs May as she battles to win over restive grass roots to Brexit deal.
Her address will inevitably be compared to the barn-storming appearance by Boris Johnson yesterday.
