The timeless songs propel the story to great heights to tell the most enchanting, funny, and dazzling love story ever. Her mother tells of love, family, and the beauty of the Greek isles all to culminate with the most incredible nuptials ever!
In 1999, Mamma Mia! opened in London to high acclaim and with the fun and charm that has been associated with it for years. Now in a permanent run at the Winter Garden Theatre, Mamma Mia! is embracing audiences every night. With more productions playing internationally that any other Broadway musical, and in fact any musical, Mamma Mia is the world's #1 show and it looks like it plans on staying at the top for years to come.
Writer/creater Catherine Johnson brings her gorgeous fairy tale alive to tell the story of a daughter's quest to find out who her real father is. She was nominated in 2002 for a Tony Award for Best Musical Book.
With 22 of ABBA's most beloved and well-known songs, Mamma Mia is the musical for disco and dancing. Audiences have been known to dance in the aisles and sing along to the melodies that you have known forever. Let them bring you back to a time where dancing met everything and find that you remember all of the words.
Including "Dancing Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," "Take A Chance on Me," "SOS," "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and "Super Trouper." The title was taken from ABBA's chart-topper, Mamma Mia!
The costumes are fun, with bright colors in the style of 1970's dancing clothes. In the finale, the cast dress in silver lame costumes, which always bring down the house. The set is simple, with a backdrop of the gorgeous Greek summer sky. The chorus represents Greek natives peering over a wall at the principals and fit in perfectly with their scenes.
You don't have to be a fan of ABBA to enjoy this musical immensely. You will find yourself dancing and laughing at this joyous, infectious production and wanting to come back for more!
