MAMMA MIA extends to March 2027

About Mamma Mia

This beloved musical takes place on an idyllic Greek island, where Sophie helps her mother, free-spirited Donna, run a hotel. All her life, it's just been the two of them, but now that she's getting married, Sophie is determined to find out the identity of her father, which Donna has always been tight-lipped about. She invites the three possible contenders to her wedding and Donna soon finds herself confronted with three of her ex-lovers, transporting her back into the memories of her rebellious, care-free youth. This heartwarming, funny story is set to an irresistible soundtrack made up of ABBA's greatest hits, including 'Dancing Queen', 'Gimme Gimme Gimme', and of course, 'Mamma Mia'.

The musical has been adapted into a film in 2008, followed by a sequel in 2018, starring Meryl Streep as Donna and Amanda Seyfried as Sophie, with Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, and Dominic Cooper.

The history of Mamma Mia in the West End

Since premiering in London’s West End in 1999, Mamma Mia has become a global phenomenon, with over 70 million people having seen it worldwide. The London production has been seen by over 11 million people, has played over 10,000 performances and has broken box office records in all three of its London homes. As part of its 25th anniversary celebrations, it released an ITV special, I Have a Dream, which searched for new young talent to join the stage musical.  One of the finalists, Maisie Waller, joined the London company in 2024 and has now been promoted to first cover for Sophie.

A new UK Tour began on 24 October 2025 and will run through to 30 January 2027.
