Inspired by the story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs, writer Catherine Johnson's sunny, funny tale of family and friendship unfolds on a Greek island. 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. Songs including "Dancing Queen"; "The Winner Takes It All"; "Money, Money, Money" and "Take A Chance on Me" are all featured in this feel-good night of fun and laughter. With more productions playing simultaneously around the world than any other new musical, MAMMA MIA! is now THE WORLD'S # 1 SHOW. There are currently 11 productions of MAMMA MIA! running concurrently around the world (9 permanent productions and 2 tours). With a worldwide gross of over $1.4 billion dollars and audiences of more than 24 million people, MAMMA MIA! is acclaimed by the Associated Press as "quite simply, a phenomenon."
