DETROIT,
MI
(AUGUST

and

Ulvaeus’
MAMMA
MIA!,
the

Seen in

acclaimed
by the
Associated
Press as
“quite
simply,
a
phenomenon.”
An
independent,
single
mother
who owns
a small
hotel on
an
idyllic
Greek
island,
Donna is
about to
let go
of
Sophie,
the
spirited
daughter
she’s
raised
alone.
For
Sophie’s
wedding,
Donna
has
invited
her two
lifelong
best
girlfriends—practical
and
no-nonsense
Rosie
and
wealthy,
multidivorcee
Tanya -
from her
one-time
backing
band,
Donna
and the
Dynamos.
But
Sophie
has
secretly
invited
three
guests
of her
own. On
a quest
to find
the
identity
of her
father
to walk
her down
the
aisle,
she
brings
back
three
men from
Donna’s
past to
the
Mediterranean
paradise
they
visited
20 years
earlier.
Over 24
chaotic,
magical
hours,
new love
will
bloom
and old
romances
will be
rekindled
on this
lush
island
full of
possibilities.
Inspired
by the
storytelling
magic of
ABBA’s
songs
from
“Dancing
Queen”
and “S.O.S.”
to
“Money,
Money,
Money”
and
“Take a
Chance
on Me,”
MAMMA
MIA! is
a
celebration
of
mothers

daughters,
old
friends

family
found.
