Theatre Tulsa will launch its 97th season in August with "Mamma Mia!", the blockbuster romantic comedy that has entertained more than 60 million people worldwide.
"Mamma Mia!" is a jukebox musical by playwright Catherine Johnson, based on the songs of ABBA, one of the most popular international pop groups of all time. The show is composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, both former members of the band who composed the original music for ABBA. The musical includes such hits as "Super Trouper", "Lay All Your Love on Me", "Dancing Queen", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Take a Chance on Me", "Thank You for the Music", "Money, Money, Money", "The Winner Takes It All", "Voulez-Vous", "SOS," and the title track "Mamma Mia." By 2018, the show has had productions in London's West End, where it is the seventh longest-running show in West End history, as well as various international productions. The Broadway production closed in September 2015 after a 14-year run, making it the ninth longest-running show in Broadway history.
