The international tour has visited 42 countries in the past 20 years, with over 3,900 performances seen by 7.7 million people worldwide. On Broadway, MAMMA MIA! became the ninth longest-running show in history, enjoying a record-breaking 14-year run, and recently returned to the Winter Garden Theatre.
