Big Concerts is excited to announce the return of the West End smash hit musical
MAMMA MIA! Experience the wonderful, irresistible storytelling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs for a limited 4 week season only at the Teatro at Montecasino, from March 24th.
MAMMA MIA! is an original musical love story featuring 22 of ABBA’s greatest hits including: ‘Dancing Queen’, ‘Take A Chance On Me’ and ‘The Winner Takes It All’. The storytelling magic of ABBA’s timeless classics propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise.

“Quite simply, a phenomenon” – Associated Press
