Premiering on Broadway in 2001, Mamma Mia! Is the sunny, heartwarming tale of a mother, her daughter and three possible fathers on a picturesque Greek island. The story unfolds through ABBA’s hits, and the musical has inspired two blockbuster films: Mamma Mia! The Movie and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
Featuring music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The design team includes Mark Thompson (production), Howard Harrison (lighting), Andrew Bruce and Bobby Aitken (sound), with Martin Koch as music supervisor, providing additional material and arrangements.
