Manila, Philippines--After nearly 20 years since the show premiered in London's West End in 1999, MAMMA MIA!, the "Mother of All Jukebox Musicals," triumphantly opens (and remains a crowd-pleaser) at The Theatre at Solaire in Paranaque City. The show, in a limited engagement, runs now through October 21, 2018.

Prior to the production's first official bows, the members of the cast performed excerpts from the finale, which include two of ABBA's greatest hits "Mamma Mia" and "Dancing Queen." (Watch the videos below!)

MAMMA MIA!, one of the most popular musicals of all time whose book is written by British playwright Catherine Johnson, features the most beloved songs of the Swedish pop group ABBA.

On its closing night on Broadway in 2015, the show, which played in New York City for more than 10 years, owned the title: Eight Longest-Running Show in Broadway History.
