Tickets Now Available For MAMMA MIA! in Hong Kong

The countdown is on! Christmas and New Year are fast approaching - and MAMMA MIA! tickets are the perfect gift for your loved ones. The smash hit musical is returning with a new cast from the UK, for a strictly limited season at the Lyric Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, from 16 to 27 January 2019.

Producer James Cundall, Chief Executive Officer of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions, said, "MAMMA MIA! remains the ultimate feel-good musical. It blends a humorous and heart-warming story with some of the best-known songs ever written, from the world's number one pop group of all time. It really is the perfect gift this winter and will get you in the party mood over the festive season."

Described as 'the sunniest of all musicals' (Sunday Express, UK) and 'ABBA-solutely fabulous' (Bristol Post, UK), MAMMA MIA! is Judy Craymer's ingenious vision of staging the story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father, brings three men from her mother's romantic past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.

"We are absolutely delighted to be bringing MAMMA MIA! back to Hong Kong. With its sunny, feel-good story and the irresistible music of ABBA, it's the perfect winter warmer for all the family. We look forward to welcoming Hong Kong audiences back, we can't wait to share the fun with you!" said Creator/Producer Judy Craymer.

To date, it has been seen by over 60 million people in 50 productions in 16 different languages. In 2011 it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the People's Republic of China. MAMMA MIA! became the 8th longest running show in Broadway history where it played a record-breaking run for 14 years. MAMMA MIA! continues to thrill audiences in London's West End at the Novello Theatre where it will celebrate its 20th Anniversary on 6 April 2019.

Produced by Judy Craymer, MAMMA MIA! The Movie became the highest grossing live action musical film of all time upon its release in 2008. A second film, MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN, opened in July 2018 and is the most successful live musical movie sequel of all time.

The hugely successful International Tour, since premiering in Dublin in September 2004, has visited 85 cities across 38 countries and sold over 5 million tickets. The show was last performed in Hong Kong in 2014 and following its huge success, now makes a welcome return to the city.

The narrative power of more than 22 of ABBA's greatest hits, including Dancing Queen, Take A Chance On Me, The Winner Takes It All, Does Your Mother Know and of course Mamma Mia, propels this charming story of love, laughter and friendship.

With music & lyrics by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, MAMMA MIA! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material & arrangements by Martin Koch.

The MAMMA MIA! International Tour is produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East & Björn Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal, Stage Entertainment and NGM, and is presented in Hong Kong by Lunchbox Theatrical Productions.
