Tickets for Mamma Mia! in London
What's Mamma Mia! about?
The musical Mamma Mia! was first performed in 1999 in London, before being duplicated in a theatre on Broadway (New York) a year later. Since then, several decades have passed and viewers still continue to come in large numbers to sing and dance in front of a romantic, moving and funny story, accompanied by ABBA's famous disco music!
Young Sophie lives on a Greek island with her mother Donna, who raised her alone while running a hotel. The day before her wedding, Sophie brings the three men who Donna had an affair twenty years earlier to the island without telling her mother. One of them is Sophie's father. But who? Sophie's two best friends and Donna's two old friends are also invited to the island for the wedding. The story will unravel in tears and laughter!
Why should you see Mamma Mia!?
Using musical jargon, Mamma Mia! is a jukebox musical, a term which clearly explains its aim: to draw the viewer in using something they're used to. Mamma Mia! uses ABBA's hits in this way.
The good mood that comes from the libretto and the effective staging of Phyllida Lloyd have done the rest: this musical is still on stage in ten cities around the world and has already been seen by more than 65 million viewers. The 2008 film based on the musical broke the box office record previously held by Titanic.
In short, Mamma Mia! is the perfect musical for an evening in London as a couple, with friends, but also as a family with teenagers. Are you ready to meet the dancing queens?
