After many years of entertaining audiences at the Prince of Wales Theatre, the hit musical “Mamma Mia!” finds a new home at the Novello Theatre. The change will happen late in 2012 with the production continuing at its current home until September, then it will be the turn of a brand new location to be transformed into the Greek Island-setting of the magical story.

Focusing on the characters of Donna and Sophie Sheridan, those with theatre tickets get a memorable show with “Mamma Mia!” as the marriage between Sophie and Skye gets closer. But there’s a problem – Sophie wants her dad to walk her down the aisle, which would be easy if she knew who he is!

Consulting the diary of her mother, Donna, Sophie narrows it down to three men and promptly invites all three of them to attend, prompting chaos and plenty of hilarious moments, whilst the music of ABBA leads the way. Songs include a range of hits from “Dancing Queen” and “Super Trouper” to “Thank You For the Music” and, of course, “Mamma Mia!”

The production has been a huge hit for producers like Judie Craymer, who hopes to follow up the success with a Spice Girls musical called “Viva Forever” further down the line, and was also adapted into a hit movie in 2008 with Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan among the cast members.

“Mamma Mia!” is at the Novello Theatre from the Autumn of 2012.
