Mamma Mia! is based on the blockbuster movie starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, and tells the feel-good story of Donna and her daughter Sophie's idyllic life on an Greek island.

Scene from the Mamma Mia musical

Sophie is about to get married and is desperate for her father to walk her down the aisle, but there's just one slight problem... she doesn’t know who he is!

So when she discovers the names of three old boyfriends scribbled inside her mother's diaries she decides to invite them all along to her wedding.

When the three men arrive on the island they are totally oblivious to Sophie's true motives, and after sharing some stories of her mum's wild-child youth they start to rekindle long-lost memories...

A soundtrack of ABBA songs

Mamma Mia is one of the happiest, cheeriest, most feel-good musicals you could ever wish to see thanks to a soundtrack of ABBA classics. The show manages to weave in twenty-two of their best tunes including Mamma Mia (of course!), Dancing Queen, Super Trouper, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Take A Chance On Me and many more.

Mamma Mia is a global phenomenon!

The combination of ABBA's classic tracks and story-telling magic has turned the show into a global smash, playing to more than 65 million people since it first opened in 1999. It's now the 5th longest-running musical in West End history and has broken box office records wherever it's played.
