Here we go again, “Mamma Mia!” is making its much-anticipated return to Broadway a decade after closing.
Producers of the international hit musical — which spawned a blockbuster movie franchise — announced Tuesday the show will go on for a second time in New York City starting this summer.
Set to the music of ABBA, the revival is scheduled to begin a limited six-month engagement on Aug. 2 at the Winter Garden Theatre — the same venue it played to sold out audiences for 14 years through 2015.
“When ‘Mamma Mia!’ opened on Broadway in 2001, the show had already launched productions in London and Toronto and played a sold-out North American tour,” uber producer Judy Craymer said in a statement. “Despite the glowing reception we received in those markets, nothing could have prepared us for the outpouring of love and acclaim (and dancing in the aisles!) that overwhelmed us when we arrived in New York at the magnificent Winter Garden Theatre.”
Taking place on the eve of a wedding, the musical centers on a daughter’s quest to find the identity of her father, which leads three men from her mother’s past to return to the mystical Greek islands they’d last visited 20 years before.
Powered by ABBA’s classic hits including “Dancing Queen,” “Money, Money, Money,” and “Take a Chance on Me,” the production — with music and lyrics by group members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus — has reportedly been seen by more than 70 million people across the world.
The musical then made it to the Hollywood big screen with two films starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgård and Colin Firth. 2008’s “Mamma Mia!” grossed over $611 million, while 2018’s “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,” also featuring Cher, hauled in nearly $275 million internationally.
General tickets for the upcoming Broadway revival go on sale beginning March 14. The show is currently scheduled to run through Feb. 1, 2026.
