Review: MAMMA MIA! at The Paramount Theater
by Amelia Divine - Jun 11, 2025
There is something about Mamma Mia! that just feels like summer. Maybe it is the breezy Greek island setting, maybe it is the glittery ABBA soundtrack, or maybe it is because this show operates entirely on pure joy. The Paramount’s current production leans into that joy, delivering an experience that feels more like an event than a standard night at the theater. The audience came ready for it too, with people in disco lamé, breezy resortwear, and go-go boots.

MAMMA MIA at Broadway in Tucson is an energetic crowdpleaser! I spent my childhood listening to the music of ABBA and watching various iterations of MAMMA MIA.
