MAMMA MIA!  

RETURNS TO SOUTH FLORIDA BRIGHTENING MIAMI'S SPRING THEATRICAL SEASON OPENING MARCH 30 FOR LIMITED ONE WEEK RUN PRESENTED BY FLORIDA THEATRICAL ASSOCIATION AND THE ADRIENNE ARSHT CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS, INTERNATIONALLY FAMED ABBA, WHOSE MUSIC IS THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE RECORD-BREAKING MUSICAL, TO APPEAR LOCALLY ON THE CREST OF BEING INDUCTED INTO THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME  

MIAMI, FL - On the heels of the announcement that internationally famed pop group ABBA was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on March 15 at New York's Waldorf Astoria, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus' MAMMA MIA!, the smash hit musical based on the pop group's hit songs, returns to Miami for a week's run, Tuesday, March 30 through Sunday, April 4 presented by Florida Theatrical Association at the Sanford and Dolores Ziff Ballet Opera House in the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County. 

Joined by Genesis, Jimmy Cliff, The Hollies and The Stooges, the Stockholm-based Abba is well remembered as one of the dominant music forces throughout the '70s drawing wide praise from pure pop punks as well as New Wavers for whom the musical joy of the four members became a guilty pleasure. 

Seen by over 40 million people around the world, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus' global smash hit musical MAMMA MIA! is currently celebrating 7 sold-out years at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, and is currently playing a record-breaking engagement on its National Tour in the United States.  The originAl West End production has played more than 4,000 performances, an international tour has played in more than 40 foreign cities, and the blockbuster feature film adaptation, produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman, is the most successful movie musical of all time grossing $600 million worldwide. 

An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends-practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.                                                                           

On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.

Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs from "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." to "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me," MAMMA MIA! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.  The performance schedule for MAMMA MIA! at the  Ziff Ballet Opera House, Adrienne Arsht Center 1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, FL, 33132 is: 

March 30 - April 4, 2010
