Why see Mamma Mia!?
The 25th Anniversary Tour!
Celebrating 25 years since this sunshine-filled show redefined the concept of the jukebox musical for the new century, it's time to break out the platform shoes and feather boas - Mamma Mia is BACK! This blockbuster musical contains all of ABBA's most famous hits, including 'Super Trouper', 'Lay All Your Love On Me', 'Dancing Queen', 'Waterloo', and more, using them to soundtrack the hilarious but touching story of single mother Donna and her daughter Sophie's upcoming nuptials on an idyllic Greek Island. Throw into the mix three lovers from her past, any of whom could be Sophie's dad...Sparks are sure to fly!
Here We Go Again!
The benchmark for all jukebox musicals, enjoy the ultimate girls' night out when it brings the Mediterranean heat to a stage near you.
Originally the brainchild of British producer Judy Cramer and playwright Catherine Johnson, the two were inspired to use the band's hits in a theatrical setting after meeting with two of the band's founding members, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. The show finally premiered in London's West End in 1999 and has spawned numerous international productions as well as inspired the global smash hit movies starring Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried.
What is Mamma Mia! about?
On the sunny Greek island of Kalokairi, Sophie is feverishly planning her forthcoming wedding to the handsome and idealistic Sky, but is saddened that her mother Donna has never told her the identity of her father. After poring secretly over Donna's diary, she identifies three potential candidates: adventurer Bill, stockbroker Sam, and ex-rocker Harry, and secretly invites them to the island, hoping to find out once and for all, who will walk her up the aisle as her father.
Needless to say, when all three men arrive at the same time, Donna is thrown into an emotional quandary, as old feelings long forgotten all stir up to the surface. With the help of her two best friends and ex-bandmates of their glam rock outfit, Donna and The Dynamos, Donna takes a trip down memory lane. At the same time, Sophie and Sky are facing doubts of their own, with Sophie feeling obligated to help her mother refurbish their ramshackle hotel, but Sky yearning for adventure away from the island.
A hedonistic joint bachelor party for both youngsters winds up with surprising confessions and confrontations that threaten the wedding. Donna must face her ex-lovers and deal with the tumult of emotions running havoc through her. As the day of the wedding dawns, will Sophie ever discover who her father is? And will Donna finally lay the past to rest and follow her heart?
