| A musical with a disco beat, Mamma Mia! features the music of Swedish singing group ABBA. The setting is a Greek island where 20 year old Sophie is due to be married. Her mom, Donna (who happens to be a former singing star) is there. But Sophie's father is not present because she is not sure who he is. So, Sophie researches mom's diary and chooses three former lovers as likely candidates and invites them to the wedding, thinking she will figure it out when she sees them. |

Donna is a bit non-plussed to be visited by the gathering of old flames. Mamma Mia! by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, features the popular songs “The Winner Takes It All,” “Money, Money, Money,” “Dancing Queen,” “S.O.S,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “Take A Chance on Me,” “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” and more. British playwright Catherine Johnson penned the book. |
