Creative team
With music & lyrics by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, MAMMA MIA! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material & arrangements by Martin Koch.
What’s the show about?
Sophie lives on a Greek Island with her mother and is about to get married. Her dream is to have her father walk her down the isle but she has never met him and her mother Donna has always refused to discuss who it is. After finding an old diary of her mothers, Sophie realises there are three potential fathers! She writes to them all, inviting them to her wedding, hoping that she will instinctively know her father when she sees him.This turns out not to be the case and we follow her on a desperate journey to find out who is her father before the big day.
Mamma Mia is a feel good, sing along tourist attraction, which will have you tapping your toes and leaving the theatre singing (even if you don’t like Abba). It’s not the greatest piece of theatre ever made but it knows that and makes no apologies for it.
