‘Mamma Mia!’ Review: A Revival of the 2001 Jukebox Musical Offers Another Undiluted Shot of ABBA Joy. Only It’s Now a Double Layer Cake of Nostalgia
From: Variety | Date: 8/15/2025
I saw the original stage version three times, and while the revived “Mamma Mia!” has its own spirit (which I would call slightly more bumptious, with more aggressive choreography), it’s really the same show. It’s directed, like the original (and like the 2008 movie version), by Phyllida Lloyd, and it remains scrupulously faithful to what she did the first time.
