The first-ever Broadway revival of Mamma Mia! is officially open as of August 14, and the critics are weighing in! The feel-good musical is back at the Winter Garden Theatre for a limited-engagement, returning to where the musical made its Broadway debut in 2001.
Since premiering in London in 1999 and subsequently on Broadway in 2001, Mamma Mia! has been seen by over 70 million people across the world, and turned into two films. Mamma Mia! premiered on Broadway October 18, 2001, at the Winter Garden Theatre, where it continued through October 19, 2013. The production then transferred to the Broadhurst, playing through September 12, 2015.

Songs include "Dancing Queen," "The Winner Takes It All," "Money, Money, Money," and "Take a Chance on Me."
