Did you know that ABBA didn’t come up with the original idea for the musical? Although *Mamma Mia!* uses ABBA’s greatest hits throughout the musical, London-based producer Judy Craymer developed the concept. She was inspired to stage an ABBA jukebox musical after listening to “The Winner Takes It All,” and she spent a decade convincing Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus to use the ABBA songs in a musical. 

Then, *Mamma Mia!* was born. Craymer formed an exciting team to bring the show to life: Catherine Johnson wrote the original *Mamma Mia!* story, and Phyllida Lloyd directs. 

Lloyd then went on to make her feature film directorial debut with the *Mamma Mia!* film. The movie features an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep as Donna Sheridan, Amanda Seyfried as Sophie Sheridan, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and more. After the success of the first film and the stage show, the sequel *Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again* was released in 2018. 

*Mamma Mia!* premiered at London’s Prince Edward Theatre in 1999, and has continuously played in the West End ever since. *Mamma Mia!* earned four Olivier nominations, including Best New Musical. Over 20 years later, audiences continue to bask in the unadulterated *Mamma Mia!* joy, and now you can too, as *Mamma Mia!* shows no signs of slowing down at the Novello Theatre.

## What to Watch For:

- During its London run, *Mamma Mia!* has played at three West End venues. The musical was at the Prince Edward Theatre from 1999 to 2004, and then the show transferred to the Prince of Wales Theatre from 2004 to 2012, when *Mamma Mia!* moved to the Novello Theatre where it’s played ever since. 
- ABBA’s songs are timeless and are listened to all over the world. The show has been translated into 16 languages, including Mandarin.
- While you’ll be tempted to sing along during the show, you’ll have your chance to boogie down during the *Mamma Mia!* ABBA megamix at the curtain call. Listen for more of your favourite ABBA hits!
- West End audiences can’t resist this musical! It's the third longest-running West End musical that’s currently playing, behind *Les Miserables* and *The Phantom of the Opera*. Over nine million people have watched *Mamma Mia!* in London since the show premiered in 1999.
- The show features music by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. They’d previously worked together on music for Chess, but for *Mamma Mia!*, they were able to work their ABBA tracks into a new, original story.

Somewhere in the crowd, there’s you. The international hit musical continues to delight audiences, and now you can be the dancing queen. *Mamma Mia!* tickets are available on London Theatre now.

This irresistibly funny ABBA musical comedy follows an original story of love, friendship and the search for identity accompanied by a score of some of the most recognisable and uplifting pop music ever written. 

Set on a Greek island paradise, the *Mamma Mia!* musical tells the story of the newly engaged Sophie who is determined to find out the identity of her father and invite them to her wedding. Without telling her mother Donna, she writes to the three possible candidates and they all arrive just in time to see her walk down the aisle. The only question is, which one of the three very different men is it?

It took a long time for *Mamma Mia!* to come to life. Producer Judy Craymer spent a decade convincing Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus to use their songs in a musical. Eventually, they were won over and *Mamma Mia!* was born. The original London production features an incredibly talented cast of performers and musicians who bring this colourful and exciting story to life. 

Fans of the 2008 movie musical will also be delighted to see the show in its original form, so escape to this idyllic island paradise and enjoy the West End's greatest party. As one of the world's most successful and recognisable musical titles, it leaves audiences on their feet night after night.

### Are *Mamma Mia!* songs original?

There's a host of hit ABBA songs including “Money Money Money,” “Take a Chance on Me,", “Does Your Mother Know,” and “The Winner Takes it All." There's also a few songs in the musical that don’t feature in the *Mamma Mia!* film, including "Under Attack" and "I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do."

The show features Abba songs which are cleverly integrated into the story written by Catherine Johnson. Young Sophie who lives with her mother on a small Greek island is about to be married to Sky and wishes for her father to walk her down the aisle. However, she has a problem, who is her father? Her mother does not want to tell her and so Sophie reads her mother's diary and discovers the name of three men who could possibly be her dad. Sophie secretly invites all three men to the wedding. The fun starts when the three men arrive on the island and discover why they have been invited.The show bounds along with endless energy and enthusiasm. The mixture of Abba songs, camp dance routines, platform boots and Lycra costumes based around a soppy romance comedy script creates a delightful evening of sheer fun and pleasure. This is pop music set to pop culture, pure unapologetic seventies tackiness that makes for a great evening's entertainment.<a href="/show/mamma-mia">Mamma Mia!</a> is energetic, funny and entertaining and appeals to all ages. No doubt one of the reasons the show is a success is because it does not try to be anything other than popular entertainment, and the production has the confidence to recognise this fact and does not take itself too seriously. For example, songs, such as "Chiquitita", "Take A Chance On Me", "Does Your Mother Know" are ingeniously slipped into the story line, and the audience bursts into favourable applause each time it happens.Vivien Parry who plays Donna is the indubitable star of the show, her powerful singing voice is superb for the Abba songs that she belts out. Her co-stars Lara Mulcahy and Kim Ismay, who play Donna's old friends Rosie &amp; Tanya , both give great comic performances, as well as having strong singing voices. These three women create a great comic trio and completely dominate the show.Choreographer Anthony van Laast's dance arrangement for Sophie's dream sequence is both daring and ridiculous and as a result is an hilarious success.<a href="/show/mamma-mia">Mamma Mia!</a> is no longer just a West End hit, it is now playing in many countries making it a worldwide success. It seems that <a href="/show/mamma-mia">Mamma Mia!</a> just goes on and on, and deservedly so. At long last, a musical based on ABBA's songs! That's what I thought as soon as I heard the show was opening. Being a teenager in the 70s I grew up with ABBA, and I had all their records in my collection. So I will try and give an unbalanced view of the show as best I can!!The show opened yesterday, 6th April, exactly 25 years to the day that ABBA won the Eurovision Song contest in 1974 with 'Waterloo', which strangely enough, is one of the few songs that does not feature in the show. The songs were written by the male members of ABBA, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and in fact Bjorn helped to produce this musical. The story is by Catherine Johnson, who had the most difficult task of writing a script to compliment over 20 of ABBA's songs.The story concerns Donna, who owns a small hotel on a tiny Greek Island. It is the eve of her daughter's wedding and unbeknown to Donna, Sophie her daughter has invited three of her mother's former lovers to the wedding, all of whom had an affair with her mother 21 years ago. Sophie is trying to find out who her dad is, so she secretly invited these men because she had read in her mother's diary that her mother had slept with each of them over a period of 15 days One of these men is Sophie's father, but which one? This basic story is all that is needed for the songs to be slotted in at the opportune moments.This show is extremely tacky and anyone who completely detests ABBA should stay well away! However, fans of ABBA will be blown away and taken on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a breathtaking rollercoaster ride of their favourite ABBA songs. This is held together with a sugary story that makes the evening exactly what it is, a lot of fun, fun, fun! This is not attempting to be a Sondheim musical, or anything of the sort, it is just a vehicle in which to celebrate all those superb ABBA songs and in this the musical works perfectly.Siobhan McCarthy as the mother 'Donna', is outstanding. She has a powerful voice that belts out the ABBA songs in true ABBA style. Mind you, Siobhan is a very experienced performer. Her credits include the title role in "Evita" at the Prince Edward theatre, 'Mary Magdalen' in "Jesus Christ Superstar", ' Fantine' in Les Miserables", ''Svetlana' in the original production of "Chess" and many more. She has recently played 'Mrs Johnston' in "Blood Brothers" at the Phoenix Theatre. There is also a great performance from the prolific Jenny Galloway as 'Rosie', and Louise Plowright as ' Tanya'. These two bring lots of humour to the show, particularly the lovely, cuddly, scary Jenny Galloway. I have seen Jenny on the London stage many times in the last couple of years, playing all kinds of different roles and she has been impressive in each of them. Lisa Stokke as ' Sophie', and Andrew Langtree as her fiance 'Sky', perform adequately. Both have come from Paul McCartney's Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, with Lisa making her West End debut. Andrew recently made his West End debut in the lead role of Nick in "Fame" at the <a href="/theatres/prince-of-wales-theatre">Prince of Wales Theatre</a>.So has the show received a critical panning from the popular press as was expected? Well, the notices have not been that bad. NICHOLAS DE JONGH of the EVENING STANDARD says, "Thank you for the music...shame about the musical". BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE of THE TIMES says, " With so much fun in the theatrical air, the rest of us might as well indulge them." SHERIDEN MORLEY on TELETEXT really enjoyed the show saying, "After a shaky start, Mamma Mia soars" and goes on to say, "It's a genuinely touching and comic book allied to some of the greatest and most theatrical pop songs ever written." KATE BASSETT of THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Unfortunately, Johnson's dialogue often sounds like a banal soap opera" and goes onto say, "The cast are clearly having a hoot, almost raising their eyebrows when they have to break into lyrics that are barely relevant." THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "You shouldn't take Mamma Mia! seriously: which is precisely why it proves to be one of the few good musicals on the London stage today."This show is strictly for people who like ABBA songs and like to have a 'good time'. Don't go to the show expecting any gripping story line, just go with the mind of enjoying the songs, reminiscing and having a lot of fun.This musical is a must for all ABBA fans!!(Darren Dalglish) <a href="/show/mamma-mia">Mamma Mia!
