A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget.
The mega-hit Broadway musical is celebrating nearly 25 years by bringing its dancing queens to Central Florida for not one, but two weeks.
We all know the story. Set on a stunning Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, “MAMMA MIA!” is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of love, friendship, and identity, beautifully told through the timeless hits of ABBA.
On the eve of her wedding, the story follows Sophie, a young bride-to-be, on her quest to discover the father she’s never known. This brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited decades ago.
“MAMMA MIA!” opened on Broadway in 2001 where it ran for 14 years, first at the Winter Garden Theatre, then at the Broadhurst Theatre. Since that time, the production has been on tour to the delight of people all around the world, as they fall in love again with the characters, the story, and the music that makes “MAMMA MIA!” the ultimate feel-good show.
How could you go wrong with a show filled with such ABBA hits including “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia,” and “Take a Chance on Me.” 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. Mark Thomspon designed the production, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material & arrangements by Martin Koch. And nothing beats The Walt Disney Theater at Dr. Phillips Center for a quality venue.
Celebrate the start of 2025 and grab your tickets to see “MAMMA MIA!” Now playing at Dr. Phillips Center on January 14-26.
