Mamma Mia!
The ultimate jukebox musical enjoys a local revival at Chicago's Drury Lane Theatre
Mamma Mia!
Ten years on, Mamma Mia! - a love story set to Abba songs - still doesn't rival Sophocles, but it remains as stonkingly, wonderfully, unbelievably good as the first time I saw it.

Mamma Mia!
The ultimate jukebox musical enjoys a local revival at Chicago's Drury Lane Theatre
Why see Mamma Mia!?
A Chicago Production of the Abba-solutely F-abba-ulous Musical!
Premiering in 2001, musical phenomenon Mamma Mia! continues to celebrate its reign on the Great White Way as the longest-running jukebox musical in Broadway history. Bolstered by the 2008 romantic comedy film starring the inimitable Meryl Streep and the star-studded 2018 sequel guest-starring Cher, the production's multiple international shows on the West End and beyond are a testament to the enduring pop legacy of ABBA and their undeniably smash hit songs.
Featuring classic songs from the ABBA catalogue like Dancing Queen, Take A Chance and of course Mamma Mia, this local revival of the musical is set on the Greek island of Kalokairi and follows the story of the fiercely independent Donna and her soon-to-be-married daughter Sophie. Unbeknownst to Donna, Sophie has invited three men from Donna's past to the wedding, hoping she may meet whichever one is her father...

It brought me into the story
Wow... I have seen a lot of productions, but this one was captivating and it pulled the audience into the story. The choreography was fabulous, along with the lighting and costuming effects! I want to see it again when it returns in November! ... Read more

Mama Mia...magical!
Singing was amazing! Voices couldn't be better! Acting was great! I am a stickler for detail, since this took
place on a Greek isle, the actors should have a makeup or sprayed tan, they were all too white! Also, I think
they could have made the lead character, Donna, look hotter, since all these men were after her. She was a
pretty lady, but could have been dressed differently. Again her voice was amazing! I'd see this play over and
over, with this cast! I would recommend this ...especially for Valentine's Day! ... Read more
