The musical includes such hits as "Super Trouper", "Lay All Your Love on Me", "Dancing Queen", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Take a Chance on Me", "Thank You for the Music", "Money, Money, Money", "The Winner Takes It All", "Voulez Vous", "SOS" and the title track.

Writer Catherine Johnson's sunny, funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings 3 men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, and every night everyone's having the time of their lives!

Mamma Mia! debuted on Broadway in October of 2001 and was nominated for five Tony Awards the following year. It is currently the ninth longest-running Broadway show and the longest-running jukebox musical in Broadway history. With more productions playing internationally than any other musical, MAMMA MIA! is the World's No.1 Show!
