About Mamma Mia!

Few musicals in the modern era have achieved the cultural staying power of Mamma Mia!. Written by Catherine Johnson and set to the music of ABBA, the show premiered in London's West End in 1999 and immediately captured the hearts of audiences worldwide. It went on to become one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history and spawned two blockbuster films starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, and a star-studded ensemble cast.

The story follows Sophie, a young woman about to be married who secretly invites three of her mother's former loves to her wedding — each a potential candidate for the role of her father. What unfolds is a joyful, emotionally resonant adventure set on a sun-drenched Greek island, woven together with ABBA hits including Dancing Queen, Super Trouper, The Winner Takes It All, and Voulez-Vous. The score is not background music — it is the engine of the entire emotional journey.

The touring production maintains the full scale and energy of the original staged production, bringing professional-grade production design, choreography, and vocal performances to audiences across North America. Atlanta theatre fans who have experienced Mamma Mia! at Woodstock Arts Theatre or other regional venues consistently describe the show as one of the most purely joyful live theatre experiences available today. The touring cast delivers performances that honor the material while bringing fresh energy to every stop on the road.
