Mamma Mia! Returns to Broadway: A Feel-Good Trip Down Memory Lane
by Alan Iverson in TheaterThe jukebox musical Mamma Mia! has returned to Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre after a decade-long absence. The show, known for its ABBA soundtrack and lighthearted plot, is a massive hit, proving its enduring appeal. While the plot is simple—a bride-to-be searches for her father among her mother's three former suitors—the show's strength lies in its iconic ABBA songs and energetic performances. The current production, though a touring company version, maintains the show's spirit and is already proving to be a box office success, rivaling other Broadway giants like Hamilton and Wicked. The show's return is met with enthusiasm from audiences, highlighting ABBA's timeless music and the show's enduring power to evoke joy and nostalgia. A third Mamma Mia! movie is also in development.
