Photos: Mamma Mia! Celebrates 25 Years in the West End
With music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (of ABBA fame), Mamma Mia! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd, and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast.
The production is designed by Mark Thompson with lighting design by
Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce and Bobby Aitken, and
musical supervision, additional material, and arrangements by Martin
Koch.
Mamma Mia! originally opened in London at the Prince Edward
Theatre April 6, 1999, before transferring to the Prince of Wales
Theatre in 2004, and then to the Novello Theatre in 2012. It reopened in
the West End following the pandemic August 25, 2021.
The tale of a mother, a daughter, and three possible dads on a Greek
island paradise subsequently played 14 years on Broadway, first at the
Winter Garden Theatre, then at the Broadhurst.
Mamma Mia! is produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East, and Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal.
The new musical is celebrating the box office opening at the Nederlander with an offer for fans to get $20 tickets, harkening back to Rent's first-of-its-kind ticket lottery.
The new trailer showcases the scale of the production design, as well as a first listen to the power ballad "Waiting on a Wish," one of the new original songs by Pasek and Paul.
