The story

MAMMA MIA! is a light-hearted yet emotional story of a girl, Sophie, and her quest to find her father. As her mother, Donna, an independent hotelier in the Greek Islands, prepares for her wedding, Sophie comes up with a plan. With her wedding day approaching fast and no father to walk her down the aisle, Sophie invites three men from her mother’s past to find out which one of them is her real father.

I've seen Mamma Mia close to 4 or 5 times. I always enjoy it. This performance was splendid as well. The only criticism I could nitpick at is the casting of Sophie. Ellie Kingdon, I believe played 20 year old Sophie, but I felt she was too old for the part. No complaints on her acting or singing. She did a great job, she doesn't seem to fit the role of a 20 year old, innocent and slightly naive "teenager". She appeared a fully grown adult woman and that detracted a little from the performance. Again, just nitpicking here. Everybody did a stellar job. I can watch this play over and over and over again.

Mamma Mia was one of the best musicals I have seen for a long time! It was difficult to stay still and not sing and dance the whole show through. It was captivating with its singing, dancing and humor. Absolutely one of our best parts of visiting London for the first time. Friend had recommended the show to us and it was beyond our expectation!

My husband, daughter, and I had a wonderful time seeing Mamma Mia! in London. From the moment the curtain rose, the energy in the theater was incredible. The cast delivered outstanding performances, bringing humor, emotion, and enthusiasm to every scene. The music was fantastic, and hearing so many beloved songs performed live made the experience even more special. My daughter was completely captivated, and it was wonderful to share such a memorable evening together as a family. The choreography, costumes, and vibrant atmosphere kept us entertained from start to finish. We found ourselves singing along and smiling throughout the show. It was a joyful, uplifting experience that left us all in great spirits. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting London and looking for a memorable night out.

How could anyone not be dazzled by such a lively, beautifully performed, and danced show! We, too, find ourselves on that little Greek island alongside Sophie and Donna! ABBA’s songs haven’t aged a bit over the years. We go from bursts of laughter to moments of tenderness, affection, and even sorrow—all of which make this musical a true gem. It makes you want to come back and see it again to recharge with positive... and contagious energy.
