Set on a sunny Greek island, MAMMA MIA! charts the story of Sophie Sheridan, who dreams of being walked down the aisle by her father, but she has no idea which of her mother Donna’s three former lovers is the dad. To find out, she invites all three to her wedding, setting off romantic and comedic twists in motion. This West End production, directed by Phyllida Lloyd with music by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, retains the musical’s signature fusion of pop, emotion and humour. The London cast includes Izi Maxwell (Sophie), Mazz Murray (Donna), Christopher Dickins, Stephen Beckett, and others. The show uses bold costumes, dynamic staging, and crowd-pleasing choreography to bring familiar ABBA songs like “Dancing Queen,” “Mamma Mia!” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” to vibrant life. Critics have praised its “fun and campness” (London Theatre) and its ability to get audiences dancing by the show’s end.

Storyline

On a bright, romantic Greek isle, Sophie Sheridan’s dream of walking down the aisle is shadowed by uncertainty: who is her father? Her mother, Donna, once kept private diaries, hiding three names: Harry, Bill, and Sam. In a twist of hopeful audacity, Sophie invites all three men to her wedding, hoping one will claim the role. What follows is a warm, humorous exploration of identity, love and family under the Mediterranean sun. As old secrets surface and relationships shift, the question of the father remains, and how it will change everything. See MAMMA MIA! in London at Novello Theatre to discover which path the story takes.
