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.
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.

The Music It is impossible to walk into Mamma Mia! without humming a tune, but hearing ABBA’s timeless discography performed live takes the energy to a whole new level. The arrangements are faithful yet fresh, making songs like "Dancing Queen" and "Voulez-Vous" feel electric. The cast delivers the vocals with incredible power, turning the theater into a massive sing-along session. The Story While the plot is admittedly light and fluffy, it serves its purpose perfectly. The tale of Sophie trying to identify her father on the eve of her wedding is a sweet, simple narrative frame that seamlessly weaves the songs together. It doesn't take itself too seriously, allowing the emotional beats to land without dragging down the pace. The Vibe The vibe is pure, unadulterated joy. This isn't a show you go to for deep, intellectual introspection; you go for the escapism. It is campy, colorful, and unapologetically fun. The production embraces the cheese factor, resulting in a show that feels like a celebration of life and love. The Atmosphere From the moment the curtain rises, the set design and lighting transport you straight to a sun-drenched Greek island. By the finale, the atmosphere shifts from a theater production to a full-blown concert party. The collective happiness in the room is contagious, leaving the audience dancing in the aisles.
It was a very good show the real singers, the professionals and also excellent actors. The songs then did all the rest, but I must say that the show is worth seeing.
