Ever since this irresistible musical has captured the hearts of millions around the globe. To date, MAMMA MIA! has been seen by 65 million people in 50 productions in 16 different languages, grossing more than $4 billion at the box office.  

MAMMA MIA! opened on Broadway in 2001 where it played for a record-breaking 14 years. The show also toured North America from 2000 to 2017 with four different touring companies spanning this period. The production coming to Toronto is a new tour that is transversing this continent. 

The stage musical’s originating producer, Judy Craymer, also produced MAMMA MIA! The Movie, which 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 films starred a host of stars including Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper, Lily James and Cher.
