Mamma Mia! originally opened in London at the Prince Edward Theatre on 6 April 1999, before transferring to the Prince of Wales Theatre in 2004. The musical reopened at the Novello Theatre in 2012.
The London production of Mamma Mia! has been seen by more than ten per cent of the entire UK population. The show has celebrated over 6,300 performances in London and has broken box office records in all three of its London homes. In 2011, it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the People’s Republic of China. This summer, the Mamma Mia! international tour will play an exclusive UK summer season at the Blackpool Opera House from 20 June to 14 September 2014. Blackpool will be the only UK venue outside of London to host the worldwide hit musical this year.
With music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The musical is produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East and Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal.
