Here’s what we think: Review by Headout

If you're looking for an irresistible, feel-good musical experience, and if you’re an ABBA fan to boot, then Mamma Mia! is the perfect show for you. Playing at the Novello Theatre in London's West End, this beloved musical is an unmissable event that will have you dancing in your seat and singing along to the iconic hits from the Swedish supergroup. No matter your age, you will find someone relatable in Mamma Mia! — whether it be the sweet and idealistic Sophie, who is looking for her father to walk her down the aisle, or the hardworking single mother Donna who gets unexpectedly reunited with her past lovers, or the ‘Dynamos’, Rosie and Tanya, the chaotic best friends of Donna. There is just something irresistible about all the characters in the musical.

“Mamma Mia! is energetic, funny and entertaining and appeals to all ages”

Marianka Swain,

The Telegraph

4/5

“...with its affirmation that families come in different forms, its sex-positivity and its strong female leads, Mamma Mia also has contemporary cred. Buoyed by Abba’s enduring brilliance, it’s a welcome shot of pure sunshine.”

Douglas Mayo,

4/5

“...this is no mere jukebox musical but a well-crafted show. Mamma Mia! remains an incredibly fun night at the theatre and it’s still difficult to believe that the show’s score of timeless pop was not purpose written for this show.”

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Erik Sjodin
I saw ABBA first time in 1973 before they became famous in my hometown Lycksele. This show was excellent good in many ways. Especially the moves from in coordination between movies and the avatars. That made them more real.. A masterpiece from start to the end!! First time i cry in a show like this. Thd sound was better then in reality. Such a great job all of you made for all of us.. MAGIC.

ABBA Voyage

Experience
Andreasson Ralf Denny
Best of the best!! Not only was Abba "there" but Céline Dion was in the audience on this wonderful evening. Stylish lighting and incredibly authentic that you could almost believe it was 1974 again. Good recharge before at Snoozbar outside the arena. Worth every €.

The booking experience was both quick and easy. One suggestion is that if you use the underground to Victoria which exit to use from the station as we chose the wrong one and it took some time to find the theatre.

Booked day before for myself and mum as found ourselves in London and fancied a show. Took a chance on Mrs Doubtfire and all I can say is that it was fabulous from start to finish. Such energy and talent by the cast. Loved it.
