About Mamma Mia! the Musical

Mamma Mia! premiered in London's West End in 1999 and opened on Broadway in 2001, becoming one of the longest-running shows in Broadway history. With a book by Catherine Johnson, music and lyrics by ABBA members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and direction by Phyllida Lloyd, the musical tells the story of Sophie Sheridan, a young bride-to-be on a Greek island who secretly invites three men from her mother's past to her wedding, hoping to discover which one is her father. The show has been seen by over 65 million people worldwide in more than 50 productions across the globe.

The current North American tour celebrates the 25th anniversary of this beloved musical. Fresh off a triumphant Broadway engagement at the Broadhurst Theatre that ran through February 2026, the tour features a dynamic cast including Jessica Crouch as Donna Sheridan, Juliette M. Ojeda as Sophie, Victor Wallace as Sam Carmichael, Carly Sakolove as Rosie, Jalynn Steele as Tanya, and Rob Marnell as Harry Bright. The production launched its current tour leg in March 2026 and has been enchanting audiences across North America with the same irresistible energy that has made Mamma Mia! a worldwide phenomenon.

ABBA's music forms the heart and soul of the show, with beloved hits like "Dancing Queen," "S.O.S.," "Take a Chance on Me," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "The Winner Takes It All," "Super Trouper," and many more woven seamlessly into the story. The songwriting partnership of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus produced some of the most iconic pop songs of the 20th century, and Mamma Mia! showcases them in a theatrical setting that has audiences singing and dancing in the aisles by the finale. The 2008 and 2018 film adaptations starring Meryl Streep further cemented the property's place in popular culture.

At the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts, Mamma Mia! will play eight performances from June 8 through June 13, 2027. The schedule features evening shows at 7:30 PM on Tuesday through Friday, with matinee and evening performances on both Saturday June 12 and Sunday June 13.
