Mamma Mia! originally opened in London at the Prince Edward Theatre on 6 April 1999, before transferring to the Prince of Wales Theatre in 2004, and then to the Novello Theatre in 2012. The London production of Mamma Mia!has been seen by over 10 million people, played over 9,000 performances and has broken box office records in all three of its London homes.
