About the Show
As the curtain rises and the orchestra begins to play those familiar ABBA hits, the excitement in the theater is undeniable. Set at a charming taverna on a fictional Greek island, MAMMA MIA! follows the story of a young bride-to-be who secretly invites the three men who could each be her father to her wedding. All three accept the invitation and return to the island they last visited decades ago. What follows is a heartwarming and humorous journey as old relationships are rekindled, secrets are revealed, and everyone prepares for a wedding to remember.
Audiences are quickly drawn into the story as Sophie takes the stage, secretly mailing letters to three men from her mother’s past—each a possible father—just before her wedding. We’re soon introduced to her close friends and her mother, Donna, who runs the island taverna and has raised Sophie on her own.
As guests begin to arrive for the big day, so do Donna’s two longtime friends and former bandmates, along with the three unsuspecting men Sophie has invited. We meet the cast of characters and embark on a journey of discovery told through beautiful emotions and lively music. It is pure fun and games as everyone gets together and re-acquaints, leading up to the wedding.
The rest is an epic adventure as the past and present collide in the most comical of ways. Featuring legendary songs like the show’s namesake, “Mamma Mia,” as well as Dancing Queen, “The Winner Takes It All,” “Money, Money, Money,” and “Take a Chance on Me,” the story and music intertwine perfectly as the show celebrates love, family, and friendship.
Catch it While You Can
“When MAMMA MIA! opened on Broadway in 2001, the show had already launched productions in London and Toronto and played a sold-out North American tour,” explained creator and producer Judy Craymer. “Despite the glowing reception we received in those markets, nothing could have prepared us for the outpouring of love and acclaim (and dancing in the aisles!) that overwhelmed us when we arrived in New York at the magnificent Winter Garden Theatre.”
Families will delight in the love triangles and love stories, and ultimately see how family comes first and love truly conquers all.
