Photos: Happy 10th Broadway Birthday MAMMA MIA!
Yesterday, October 18, the international hit musical MAMMA MIA! celebrated its 10th year on Broadway. MAMMA MIA! opened at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre on October 18, 2001, and has become one of the most successful musicals of all time. In September of this year, MAMMA MIA! became the 10th longest running show in Broadway history and MAMMA MIA! The Movie is the most successful live musical film of all time.
In celebration of the milestone, the company treated fans in Times Square to an encore performance in the streets following the curtain call, before heading to an exclusive after party. BroadwayWorld was on hand for the entire evening into the night and brings you photo coverage below!
