The Mamma Mia show in London was wonderful! The story is light, but the songs and music of the ABBA band make you want to dance even after 50 years. It's amazing how they managed to integrate the songs appropriately in each scene. The audience was very diverse: there were adults, young people, and even teenagers who weren't born during ABBA's heyday. At the end of the show, the energy was at its peak! And even my partner, who usually doesn't like musicals, really enjoyed the show!

What a joy that show is live. Mamma Mia on stage has all the ABBA hits stitched into a genuinely funny, feel-good story, and the London cast brought real warmth and comic timing to it. The staging is simple but clever, the energy never dips, and by the encore the entire theatre is up dancing and singing along. Pure feel-good escapism — left with a huge smile and sore hands from clapping. Highly recommend if you’re after a fun night out in the West End.

The theate itself is very beautiful and provides the ambiance to Mamma Mia. The crowd was well attired and the seats were all full. Everyone anticipated a great performance and that's exactly what we got! The voices of song were clear, understandable and filled the theatre. The costumes were bright and fun. The theme of the play was undeniable! Everyone played their role well. The audience clapped, sang and cried! Bravo to all!

I have already seen this musical several times, but this time, I have to say the standard was significantly higher. This troupe is simply outstanding, both for the talent of the actors and singers, the costumes, and their incredible level of vocal mastery. The atmosphere is electric from start to finish. If you are feeling a bit down, this show is made for you: you leave feeling delighted and fully recharged.

This wasn't my first time seeing Mamma Mia, and I was not disappointed the second time around. First time Philadelphia, second London. I took my two granddaughters as an introduction to musicals. (6 & 8 years old) They were dancing during the curtain call. We were so fortunate to see Sophia leaving the theatre after the show. She stopped to talk with the girls and had a photo taken. Such fun!!

Even before the show started, we were welcomed very warmly, and admission was quick and smooth, thanks also to the many staff members. The atmosphere in the theater itself is wonderful, and there were snacks and drinks available. Despite a small interruption, the cast and orchestra of "Mamma Mia" completely captivated us, and the sing-along finale was especially great!

Judy Craymer’s ingenious vision blends ABBA’s timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family and friendship, set on a Greek island paradise.

A global phenomenon seen by 70 million people in 16 languages. It has grossed over $4 billion and was the first Western musical staged in Mandarin.

Originally opening in 1999, the show played at the Prince Edward and Prince of Wales theatres before making the Novello Theatre its home in 2012.

Now in its 27th year, it has surpassed 10,000 performances and 10 million viewers in London alone. Book your tickets to MAMMA MIA! in London now!
