Tell Me More

Did you know that ABBA didn’t come up with the original idea for the musical? Although Mamma Mia! uses ABBA’s greatest hits throughout the musical, London-based producer Judy Craymer developed the concept. She was inspired to stage an ABBA jukebox musical after listening to “The Winner Takes It All,” and she spent a decade convincing Benny Anderson and Björn Ulvaeus to use the ABBA songs in a musical.

Then, Mamma Mia! was born. Craymer formed an exciting team to bring the show to life: Catherine Johnson wrote the original Mamma Mia! story, and Phyllida Lloyd directs.

Lloyd then went on to make her feature film directorial debut with the Mamma Mia! film. The movie features an all-star cast, including Meryl Streep as Donna Sheridan, Amanda Seyfried as Sophie Sheridan, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski, Colin Firth, Pierce Brosnan, and more. After the success of the first film and the stage show, the sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again was released in 2018.

Mamma Mia! premiered at London’s Prince Edward Theatre in 1999, and has continuously played in the West End ever since. Mamma Mia! earned four Olivier nominations, including Best New Musical. Over 20 years later, audiences continue to bask in the unadulterated Mamma Mia! joy, and now you can too, as Mamma Mia! shows no signs of slowing down at the Novello Theatre.

What to Watch For:

  • During its London run, Mamma Mia! has played at three West End venues. The musical was at the Prince Edward Theatre from 1999 to 2004, and then the show transferred to the Prince of Wales Theatre from 2004 to 2012, when Mamma Mia! moved to the Novello Theatre where it’s played ever since.
  • ABBA’s songs are timeless and are listened to all over the world. The show has been translated into 16 languages, including Mandarin.
  • While you’ll be tempted to sing along during the show, you’ll have your chance to boogie down during the Mamma Mia! ABBA megamix at the curtain call. Listen for more of your favourite ABBA hits!
  • West End audiences can’t resist this musical! It's the third longest-running West End musical that’s currently playing, behind Les Miserables and The Phantom of the Opera. Over nine million people have watched Mamma Mia! in London since the show premiered in 1999.
  • The show features music by ABBA’s Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. They’d previously worked together on music for Chess, but for Mamma Mia!, they were able to work their ABBA tracks into a new, original story.
