Mamma Mia

Mamma Mia! is one of the best feel-good musicals in town, loved by millions and a feast of smash hit ABBA tunes. It's written by the British playwright Catherine Johnson, who has cleverly woven ABBA's greatest hits into a quirky love story.

Abba's songs were composed by band members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, one of which is Mamma Mia itself, and everyone loves them. They're joyful, sophisticated, tuneful and compelling, providing brilliant backdrop for the plot. Super Trouper, Lay All Your Love on Me, Dancing Queen, Knowing Me, Knowing You and Take a Chance on Me are just some of them - the list goes on. And on. So far more than 50 million people have seen and loved the show. Imagine that: 50 million people leaving theatres across the world, all feeling uplifted and renewed. That's quite something.

What's the story? The scene is the gorgeous Greek island of Kalokairi, where twenty year old Sophie is preparing to marry her fiancé, Sky. She wants her dad to accompany her down the aisle but there's a problem - she's not entirely sure who he is. When Sophie discovers her mum Donna's old diary, full of entries about romances with three different men, she secretly invites all three to the wedding in her mum's name. You're going to love it!

Crazy Dancing Queen !
I had very huge expectation on this before the show and it didn’t disappoint me and my wife !!we enjoyed every minute of it although I must admit it was a slow start of the story but it grew better and better in each scene! The last closing scene was the best with the singing and dancing. Brilliant..

Amazing Time
We took nanny visiting from Spain and she was delighted to be able to watch the play. The music, the stage, costumes, singing and acting was extraordinary. We join in during the last couple of songs, however, overall we were captivated during the whole time. Thank you for an amazing time in London!
Francis, 01 Nov 2024
The costumes where fantastic great family show with lots of singing and laughs
Nothing really,a bit of light swearing which I think children wouldn't notice. Loads of laughs and singalong. Acting and singing is fantastic from a great cast

Wonderful!
I would like to make one serious suggestion about visibility of the performance on the stage. Because of over leaning by customers in front I would suggest that the performance be set up and repositioned a foot or two further back on the stage. The back of the stage was hardly used for critical and intimate performances and if utilised could very likely prevent over leaning.
Rooma Devi, 23 Sep 2024
A must see show for Anyone who likes musicals
Very good performance
CLAUDE, 17 Sep 2024
Fantastic show and amazing service!!
I was with a lady who needs a little help walking and because of that they gave us a fantastic upgrade so we would not have to climb to many stairs. And the staff was super friendly!! And then the show...the acting and music is amazing and the whole show is full of energy!!! Would love to go again!!

Excellent!
I’m a fan of musicals, my husband did it for me. He raved about how much he enjoyed the show all day! I thought it was an amazing production from beginning to end but to hear my husband saying how much he enjoyed it was awesome. They had us captivated from the first scene! Way to go! We saw ads for the show all over London so we decided to make it a part of our anniversary trip and they did NOT disappoint. This show is one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you

Que de bonnes émotions à voir absolument
Si vous aimez le film Mamma Mia , Abba , ne vous posez pas questions foncez-y , nous étions placé au balcon , cela vous donne une impression vertigineuse mais quand le spectacle débute çà s'envole . Une formidable expérience de comédie musicale , si vous ne comprenez pas l'anglais , peut-être revoir le film en vost avant pour se remettre dans l'histoire , mais le répertoire d'Abba vous emporte . un merveilleux moment à partager .
Sandrine, 17 Aug 2024
No hay nada tan extraordinario como Mama Mía !!!!
Absolutamente todas las canciones de ABBA son obras maestras son lo mejor para destacar la felicidad de todos. Más escrito y llevado al teatro es otra obra maestra de los cantantes y artistas y productores . !!! Todo , todo es literalmente excepcional !!!

Amazing show
I watched this show a few months ago with my friend. Later, I took my family there. We love it so much. So emotional with jokes. I saw it twice, but I wish to see it again.
Inga, 30 May 2024
Most fun musical
Mamma Mia is not the best musical out there, but it sure is the most fun to see. I had a blast watching and listening to the amazing music. Performers were good, especially Donna. 🕺💃
Chloe, 28 May 2024
As Expected
Having seen the film more than once it was great to see a live performance. Lively and well done, what you would expect from Abba. Really enjoyed it and would recommend it.
Alfred, 28 May 2024
Musical
I was disappointed because we paid good money for our seats expecting to see the two original sky and Sophie whom I followed on TV and got there and it was two different actors, that spoilt the whole trip for me, when we booked they were the cast which is very deceiving. I did enjoy the show because everyone was amazing but my husband booked it for us to see the original stars .
Dean, 28 May 2024
Entertaining Show
The actresses that played the mother and her two friends were excellent.

Best London Show
Absolutely fantastic!! A real feel good musical, the cast put their all into it. The music was great, the costumes were amazing & the actors were brilliant.
Jeanette, 23 Feb 2024
Full on fun
Thoroughly enjoyed performance. Laugher, enthusiasm, dancing and singing. Novello Theatre is old built in 1904 and retains character. It is small. It was full and lots of young foreign student group who really appreciated it. Not a lot of knee space in our seats row A of balcony but others seemed OK.
Pauline, 22 Feb 2024

Brighten up a very wet day. Brilliant
Wonderful show. I thought it far excelled the movie. The story and emotional rollercoaster was great.
Michael, 10 Feb 2024
Brilliant show just wish Stevie still had her Scottish accenr
Brilliant show, Stevie and Tobias were fantastic, it was their first week and you would think they’d been doing it for ever. Would have liked Stevie to have been allowed to keep her Scottish accent, was disappointed that it was felt necessary to change it. All the cast were amazing, special shout out for Mazz as Donna, what a voice. Defy anyone not to feel good after watching it. Choreography superb and all the cast looked like they were one big happy family. Slightly spoiled by some girls in front of us singing along (badly) too loudly, all we could hear was them.
Yvonnr, 04 Feb 2024
Brilliant a must see.
Very colourful costumes. The acting was excellent and superb singing. Great to be able to join in at the end. More thought could have been given to the scenery, fairly basic. But could easily see it again.
CLIVE, 04 Feb 2024
Amazing, emotional fantastic show

Always a great night
A fantastic show with the added bonus of ABBAs great music. This was the opening night for the new Sky and Sophie who were both excellent. Special mention to Mazz Murray who plays Donna, she is so talented absolutely brilliant.
David, 30 Jan 2024
Good old times
You will need to watch the film beforehand to understand the musical. All the actors were wonderful
Yolanda, 29 Jan 2024
A wonderful production suitable for all ages
We were a family party of 5, spanning 3 generations, and all thought the show amazing and well worth the trip down from Scotland. Sometimes a cast will hold back in matinees, knowing they have an evening performance to come, but there was no sign of that here. An excellent show from start to finish. Special mention to the band as they are usually missed in reviews. Having played in bands for many shows, I appreciate what they do and this one was outstanding.
Lois, 29 Jan 2024

every was amazing, I’m a huge fan of the theatre and I freaking love this movie so it was the perfect combination for me!!

William, 13 Jan 2024
Massively enjoyable
I would like to say a massive thank you to the 2 young ladies and the ticket office team who kindly re arranged my seat due to my medical circumstances on 11/1/24 The show was just excellent and felt a huge feeling of joy inside of me and I was able to use the bathroom during the performance without disturbing other guests. I felt very valued and respected by everyone who supported me. All the best to you all kind regards Sukaina Mehmet
Sukaina, 12 Jan 2024
Mamma Mia
Really good seats, really good music, just a shame you could not join in the singing till the end
Wayne, 04 Jan 2024
A definite must see for ABBA fans
Not seen the movies but grew up with ABBA songs so went to see out of interest. Great cast and songs sung perfectly so you could hear each word. Leading ladies were fantastic and ably supported by rest of the cast. Great show and hope you continue for many more years.
Paul, 01 Jan 2024
Joyous and fun!
The perfect lift at any time of the year. Powerful heartfelt singing from Donna in particular really stirred emotions and awe.

James, 30 Dec 2023
It’s a feel good dance party!!
This show is my favorite and I’ve seen most of them! The set is simple but the music is catchy and fun and will make you want to stand up and dance! Also, the ushers are not as obnoxious about photos/videos as other shows, which can ruin the mood! Thank you ushers!!!
