Based on the music of ABBA, this musical follows a daughter and mother during wedding preparations on a Greek isle. The bride to be wants to know who her father is, and the mother desperately wants to forget.
Mamma Mia’s is a sunny, funny tale—albeit with some moments of painful memories of lost love—that unfolds on a tiny Greek island. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back 20 years later. You don’t have to be a fan of the super group ABBA, who provide the 23 hit songs for Mamma Mia! to enjoy the show. There are plenty of moments of reflection, particular for the mother, Donna, and the men who wonder if they might be the bride's father.
Here’s what the critics say about Mamma Mia!: “This show is terrific fun!” (Ben Brantley - The New York Times), “Mamma Mia! brings happiness wherever it goes’ (Time Magazine), “A mega hit that has audiences dancing in the aisles!” (Associated Press), “Just sit back and let the joy sweep over you” (Clive Barnes - The New York Post).
