Mamma Mia! recently celebrated its 27th anniversary in the West End, where it continues to be one of the longest-running musicals of all time.
Since its London premiere in 1999, the ABBA-inspired musical has been seen by over 70 million people worldwide and has expanded into more than 50 productions across 16 languages.
The show’s current West End cast includes Sara Poyzer, Kate Graham, Nicky Swift, Richard Standing, Daniel Crowder and Ellie Kingdon, alongside a large ensemble.
Set on a Greek island, Mamma Mia! tells the story of a mother, a daughter and three possible fathers, brought to life through ABBA’s iconic songs.
The production features music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with a book by Catherine Johnson and direction by Phyllida Lloyd.
