Whether you're a longtime fan or a complete newcomer to the show, you are undoubtedly familiar with Mamma Mia!'s iconic playlist. The songs of Swedish pop group ABBA feature as more than just musical numbers - they practically drive the show's story! Tracks like "Dancing Queen" and "Take a Chance on Me" find new life in the hands of playwright Catherine Johnson, who spins a love story unlike any you've seen before.

Johnson's tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise, on the eve of what could almost be a perfect wedding ... The only thing missing is the bride's father. With a little digging, bride-to-be Sophie narrows her search down to three men, each a past lover of her mother, each a potential father. But the candidates' arrivals to the island stir up trouble for Donna and, potentially, the entire wedding itself. Resolution is chased in true theatre fashion: With an electric showcase of song and dance.

Mamma Mia! has charmed more than 54 million people since its 1999 stage debut, inspiring countless runs and two hit film adaptations. Don't miss out on this unforgettable show! Get your tickets now at grct.org or call our box office at 616-222-6650!
