About the Show

The story is set on a gorgeous Greek island, and follows the impending wedding of Sophie, who is attempting to pinpoint the identity of her birth father. Her mother, Donna, who runs a taverna on the island, doesn't know that Sophie has invited three of Donna's former paramours to the event, hoping that one of them is her dad. With the arrival of her best friends and former bandmates, Rosie and Tanya, Donna recalls her former glory as the lead singer of Donna and the Dynamos. Though the road to the altar is a bit bumpy for all, the story ends happily.
