The London cast recording features Lisa Stokke as Sophie, the woman in search of her dad, Siobhan McCarthy as her mother, Donna, Louise Plowright as Tanya, 2000 Olivier Award winner Jenny Galloway as Rosie, Melissa Gibson as Lisa, Andrew Langtree as Sophie's fiance Sky, and Paul Clarkson, Nicolas Colicos and Hilton McRae as the Harry, Bill and Sam, the three candidates for pater familias.

Currently a hit in London and Toronto, Mamma Mia! makes its way to the U.S. when it opens at San Francisco's Orpheum Theatre Nov. 15. Stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Washington, DC and Boston will be followed by an expected Broadway arrival in fall 2001. A theatre, the Winter Garden, has already been named for the show. For the U.S., the original Toronto cast, including Dora winner Louise Pitre (Donna), newcomer Tina Maddigan (Sophie), Ragtime's David Mucci (Bill Austin), Les Miserables' Gary Lynch (Sam Carmichael) and Adam Brazier (Sky), will tour, but no announcement has been made for Broadway.
