About

The ultimate feel-good musical is heading on a brand new UK tour, bringing the sunny climes of Greece to you! The ABBA-tastic jukebox musical that started it all back in 1999, Mamma Mia! tells the story of single mum Donna and her daughter Sophie as the latter plans a scheme to find out who her real dad is before her wedding. With some of the Swedish pop group's most beloved songs including 'Dancing Queen', 'I Have A Dream', 'Super Trouper' and many more to groove to, discover for yourself why Mamma Mia! remains a firm favourite both in the West End and around the world.

The show was originally conceived by English producer Judy Craymer and written by Catherine Johnson. With the blessing of Abba's songwriters, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, the show premiered in London in 1999. Its infectious mixture of classic pop songs, skin-tight Lycra outfits and unabashed positivity was a runaway success, confounding the creator's own rather humble expectations and launching a franchise that includes two hit films - with a third in the works.

What Is The Story of Mamma Mia!? Sophie is preparing for her wedding to fiancee Sky on a sunny Greek Island. The one problem is that she doesn't know who her father is.

Leafing through her mother's diary, she discovers that it could be one of three men. Taking matters into her own hands, she invites all three to the ceremony, hoping that she'll spark up an instant connection with whoever is meant to walk her down the aisle. So, the big day approaches and all the guests arrive.

Sophie's mother Donna, is horrified at the sight of her former lovers, never suspecting that she would ever set eyes on them again. Sophie, meanwhile, is unable to pick out her biological father from the trio. Confusion, farcical misunderstandings, and a whole lot of singing ensue as Sophie tries to figure it out, all the while fighting her nagging doubts about the wedding itself.
