The International Hit Sensation MAMMA MIA! Boogies its Way to the Millbrook Playhouse this Week

The Board of Directors and Artistic Director, David Leidholdt, are announcing the Millbrook premiere of the smash hit Mamma Mia! from June 21 to July 6 on the Ryan Main Stage.

The enchanting, hilarious story that has become an international sensation is told through Swedish pop group ABBA's timeless hits and takes place on a magical Greek island paradise.

On the eve of her wedding, a young woman's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited twenty years ago. Non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers, along with the magic of ABBA's hit songs including, "Super Trouper," "Dancing Queen," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "Take a Chance on Me," "Thank You for the Music," "Money, Money, Money," "The Winner Takes It All," and "SOS," combine to make this sunny, funny show a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!

Cathrine DeLuce, whose clever staging was last seen in the comedy Spamalot, is the productions choreographer and rounding out this dynamic trio, Mo Ortbal will serve as the Musical Director (Millbrook's Sister Act, Seussical, Holly Jolly Follies.)
