Mamma Mia was a 1975 hit song from the pop group ABBA. Winners of The Eurovision Song Contest, the group consisted of Benny Andersson, Bjrn Ulvaeus, Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida), Agnetha Fltskog.
Mamma Mia! is a stage musical from the book written by British playwright Catherine Johnson, based on the songs of ABBA. Timeless songs such as Dancing Queen, I Have a Dream and Take a Chance on Me, are woven into a tale of love, laughter and friendship. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the Greek island paradise they last visited twenty years ago.
Mamma Mia, through the story-telling magic of the songs of ABBA, we meet Donna, a forty-something single mum, who recalls distant memories of carefree days and careless nights whilst her daughter Sophie dreams of tradition, romance and a big white wedding.
Mamma Mia transports audiences to a tiny mythical Greek island as we share two unforgettable days in the lives of our heroines surrounded by crystal blue seas and beneath a beating Grecian sun.
