ABOUT THE SHOW:
Mamma Mia! is a feel-good jukebox musical set on a Greek island, featuring ABBA's hit songs as a young woman, Sophie, tries to discover which of three men from her mother Donna's past is her father before her wedding, bringing them all to the island for a weekend of love, laughter, and unexpected family revelations. The story is a celebration of friendship, family, and identity, with iconic tunes like "Dancing Queen" and "The Winner Takes It All" woven into the plot.
