Mamma Mia! has become a worldwide phenomenon
for many reasons. It definitely doesn't hurt that the songs from this unforgettable musical come from the catalogue of the
famed Swedish pop band ABBA. Among the songs in the score are hits like "Money, Money, Money," "Dancing Queen," "Lay All Your
Love on Me," "I Have a Dream" and, of course, "Mamma Mia."
The story of Mamma Mia revolves around a former pop star, Donna, who has lived for the past several years in seclusion
on a Greek island with her now-grown daughter Sophie. When Sophie decides to marry, she wants her father to be at the wedding,
but she has no idea who her father is. She narrows down the choices from her mother's diary to three potential dads and invites
them all to the wedding without telling her mother.
Since it was first staged during the late 1990s, Mamma Mia! has become a favorite musical. In that time, it has also raked
in numerous awards and award nominations around the world. The story has everything needed to create a hit musical: a captivating
plot, fantastic music and a healthy dose of humor. Don't miss the Calgary
