A mother. A daughter. 3 possible dads.
And a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!
Set on a Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, a tale of love, friendship, and identity is beautifully told through the timeless hits of ABBA. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the father she's never known brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited decades ago.
For nearly 25 years, people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story, and the music that make MAMMA MIA! the ultimate feel-good show.

Took my son for his 14th birthday and we loved the show. Beautiful, talented performers. Fun to watch and had some hilarious parts. At the end, my son and I and actually everyone else stood up clapped, sang and danced. Loved it!
This production was far from adequate. The main cast presented with skills comparable to a high school performance . The music never got off the ground. The vocals never rose above the instrumentals. We left at intermission. I felt like it was a complete waste of money. I have never walked out of a play in my life, but I did on Wednesday 11/11/15 the 2:00 performance. I was terrible.
The Music was wonderful. Great production. Not a dull moment.
Mamma Mia! is a cute story of a young woman's quest to find her father as she plans her wedding on the Greek Isle that she grew up on. The entire cast was enthusiastic. I'd seen the movie, and the story line included both familiar and new songs. It was a very enjoyable evening out.
This is the third time I have seen Mamma Mia . The show was average. Donna did an amazing job and has a beautiful voice, but unfortunately the cast was not miked very well and their voices went in and out. The energy just was not as dynamic as I have seen in the past.
I was very disappointed to realize that this is a non equity tour. To be charging the ticket prices you do for a production that had a much lesser production value than the previous national tours is taking advantage of your ticket holders.
Great songs, of course, but no live orchestra, minimal set. Disappointing given the money we spent.
Thought the parts of Sky and Tanya were miss cast. Other than that, the play was great
This is not the first time I see this show and I enjoy it every time I see it. It took a song or 2 for the leading 2 ladies to warm their vocal cords, but once they did, they were unstoppable balls of energy. Some of the other actors (singers) didn't stand up to being called singers, but were funny and great as actors. All in all, if you like Abba songs and/or European music, this show is worth a watch.
It is such a fun show! My friend and I loved it; we had both seen the movie, but this was our first time seeing it performed live. It's fun because you know at least a handful of the songs, but more so, the energy the cast puts into the show keeps you energized too. The costumes are also are fabulous, with lots of sparkle... and humor! It is just a fun show to see!
It started off slow, but then picked up the pace. Fun Abba songs! Mom had a great voice. Loved the songs after the show!
I went with the expectation that my wife would like this play and I would be bored out of my mind, but I was pleasantly surprised that I actually enjoyed it and had fun going. I have recommended it to several people.
I absolutely loved this show! I've been a huge fan of the movie since I first saw it several years ago. Have never seen a musical version until now. I noticed that one song from the movie got left out at the end and there were several songs in the musical that were not in the movie at all. Not sure if they were originally a part of the musical that got cut out for the movie version, but they seemed like they didn't fit well for some reason. The mother/daughter duo was absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!! The voices of angels!!!!! There could not have been a better vocalist for these parts. The groom-to-be, however, was less polished and, although he could dance, was not a great vocalist. Loved the choreography of voulez-vous and man after midnight numbers. The set/props and staging were also great - made for easy transitions from scene to scene.
I'm not a fan of musicals but I enjoyed watching the movie and was afraid the actual play wouldn't be good. I was very pleased with mamma mia. Loved the songs and the acting was funny too!
The music was wonderful and so were the singers. They did a great job with this familar musical. I wanted to catch it for the brief time it was in town. Well worth the time and money
Mamma Mia was fantastic and funny. My wife who is an ABBA fan especially enjoyed it with the songs that were her favorites.
I have been looking forward to seeing Mama Mia for years! I had everyone who saw it telling me I needed to go since the first time it came to Chicago. The show did not disappoint! The singing was wonderful, dancing awesome and the set changes innovative! I will likely drag others to see it when it comes back around. An incredibly fun night out!
I enjoyed the music, the acting, EVERYTHING about this show. There are a few numbers that were not in the movie which was a nice surprise.
Loved it! Good performance, good cast, and good seats!
