Mamma Mia Synopsis &
Storyline
The setting is a Greek island where 20-year-old Sophie is due to be
married. Her mom, Donna (who happens to be a former singing star) is
there, but her father isn't...because she's never met him. So, Sophie
snoops in her mom's diary, chooses three former lovers as likely
candidates and invites them to the wedding, hoping she can just figure
it out when she sees them!
This musical dances to a disco beat, featuring 22 of Swedish singing
sensation ABBA's greatest hits, including "Dancing Queen," "The Winner
Takes It All," "Take A Chance on Me," "Knowing Me, Knowing You" and
"Super Trouper". These pop songs weave together an enchanting tale of
love, laughter and friendship.
Time Magazine says that, "This high-energy musical brings
happiness wherever it goes!" Now a worldwide sensation, Mamma Mia!
has Broadway audiences singing and dancing in the aisles nightly and
critics around the world are calling it "ABBA-solutely fabulous." See
it for yourself.
