What's it all about?
If watching the film is like going on the best holiday of your life without the bother of leaving your seat, imagine how it feels to “see that girl, watch that scene” live on stage. Absolutely nothing beats the experience of watching – and, more importantly, taking part in – this fabulously feel-good show.
With so many of the Swedish super-group’s greatest hits included in Mamma Mia!, it’s easy to see why this Abba musical has become a global phenomenon.
What's the story?
Perhaps the biggest surprise when you see Mamma Mia! is just how great the story is and how well the characters complement Abba’s iconic anthems.
A wedding is about to take place on a sun-drenched Greek island, but Sophie has no one to walk her down the aisle. Soon her problems are multiplied when she discovers there isn’t just one possible candidate – but three.
So can she find out who her father is and keep free-spirited mum Donna on side – all while navigating love’s choppy waters?
Who's in it?
You might think that nothing could outdo the music in Mamma Mia! – and it’s certainly true that the classics keep on coming, from the title track to 'Dancing Queen', 'Waterloo', 'Super Trouper' and 'The Winner Takes It All'.
But with the part of Donna (Meryl Streep in the movie) taken on by Helen Hobson, a distinguished diva who has already masterfully played the role of Donna before, in 2007 – you’re sure to sashay out of the theatre with these uplifting songs ringing in your ears.
Who is Mamma Mia! suitable for?
Abba fans the world over are flocking to see Mamma Mia!. And with so many dance floor favourites on display, you’ll be glad you did too. Long before the end you’ll be on your feet, singing and dancing with the best of them.
And, with the mother-daughter relationship at its heart, this is one show that both sides can agree on. But watch out if you’re easily embarrassed, girls – your Mum will definitely be donning her disco boots before the evening’s out.

Mamma Mia! reviews -
staff
Mamma Mia! is one of the most fun and hilarious nights out at the theatre. From the over the top costumes to the lighthearted story, Mamma Mia! is one of the best West End shows....and the Abba music is great.
This show has been running now for over 12 years and remains one of the most popular musicals in the West End. Its success is thoroughly deserved as it really is a great night out. The score features many of Abba's biggest hits from the 1970s and early 1980s and after watching this show you are pretty much guaranteed to have a big smile on your face (and more than likely to be humming the tune to 'Waterloo' on your journey home).
This is a family friendly, sing-a-long frenzy of fun for all.
Has a fun feel-good factor. I loved the comedy and the clever way they’ve created a story around Abba classics! Be prepared to get up and dance at the end! ;)

Loved it, loved it, loved it!!!! Seen it twice now and would def see it again. The funniest show I've ever seen, it really is fantastic!
Stunning show! Beautifully produced and great fun - the cast were all fabulous and gave us wonderful renditions of the best tunes from the film. Would highly recommend it for a bright, cheerful, fun night out.
This visit was a treat for my daughter and two grandchildren..............................and what a treat it was. So vibrant, energetic and wonderfully presented. The only complaint was that it was over too soon. We are now back in the N.E of Scotland and are telling all of our friends and family about our truly excellent experience.
We enjoyed the show very much. Why we want to go to the theatre in London is to experience the fabulous mood, people get totally carried away.

Did You Know?
An incredible 45 million people across six continents have seen Mamma Mia! since it opened back in 1999, and producer Judy Craymer vividly remembers the buzz around that first performance: “The audience went wild. They were literally out of their seats and singing and dancing in the aisles – and they still are. Every night.”
Interestingly, exactly a week after Wills and Kate got hitched another lucky couple took centre stage – quite literally – to do the deed, tying the knot on stage during Mamma Mia!’s international tour.
And one final fascinating fact is that Sally Ann Triplett (Donna) started out riding elephants in a circus.
