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.

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.

TinaH Best night out ever! After much struggling I even managed to drag my boyfriend along and even he had to admit in the end that he enjoyed it (although he would never admit it now). I had to go because I have watched the movie about 10 times but I love ABBA so much. Mamma Mia is just all fun all the way through and it is great because everyone knows the songs – even my boyfriend! I like the way they have managed to get the songs into it. It is great how they have managed to slip them into the storyline – it is like they wrote them especially for this show! When I went the audience was really lively, singing and clapping and that made it even better because it’s a great atmosphere instead of sitting there in silence like when we saw it at the cinema.

B D I have seen Mamma Mia 5 times now (twice at the theatre and 3 times at the cinema) so you could say that I’m a bit of a fan. Both times at the theatre I sat in the circle and both times I had a great view. It is much better seeing the show at the theatre than at the cinema because the atmosphere is wonderful. Both times I went the finale bit ended up with everyone who was watching on their feet clapping and dancing and having a great time, like true Abba fans should! (reply)
Margaret We have seen Les Mis, Phantom, Wicked, The Lion King, Jersey Boys, and we agree that the only show that came anywhere close to this was the Buddy Holly Story many years ago. We absolutely loved it and we are not even abba fans! We are already planning another fantastic weekend in London to see it again. (reply)
