Judy Craymer’s inventive re-working of the hits of Swedish supergroup ABBA, Mamma Mia! has been seen live by 65 million people in 50 different productions in 16 different languages grossing more than $2 billion at the box office. In 2011 it became the first Western musical to be staged in Mandarin in China.

Mamma Mia! is also currently playing a German-language tour in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, a Dutch-language production is in Utrecht and a Mandarin-language production is in China. Upcoming productions include a UK and international tour and productions in Korea, Berlin and Denmark.

The show originally opened in London at the Prince Edward Theatre in 1999, before moving to the Prince of Wales Theatre in 2004. It then re-opened in its new London home, the Novello Theatre, in 2012.

The London production has been seen by over 8.9 million people, played more than 8,000 performances and has broken box office records in all three of its London homes.

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 production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce and Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material and arrangements by Martin Koch.
