Based on the music of the supergroup, ABBA, the musical includes such hits as: "Super Trouper," "Lay All Your Love on Me," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "Take a Chance on Me," "Voulez-Vous," "SOS" and the title track - "Dancing Queen." Mamma Mia! has been played in more than 50 countries in all 6 continents and more than 60 million people have seen the show, which has grossed $2 billion worldwide since its 1999 debut - and now for five weeks the Jacksonville area will get its own glimpse at this global hit show. With 75% of the Alhambra's available 10,000 seats already sold for the run of the show, Mamma Mia's popularity proves to remain high even four years after it closed on Broadway.
Mamma Mia! takes place on an exotic Greek isle where a gorgeous young woman is set to be married. The blushing bride-to-be sets out on a search to find both her true identity and the identity of her father. The fun gets ratcheted up when her mom finds out that she's invited three men that could potentially be her dad. On top of the entertaining story, this lively musical will have the audience dancing in their seats with the infectious music of ABBA.
Said Alhambra Managing Partner, Craig Smith, "This show has been circled on a lot of calendars since we announced the season back in the fall of 2018. We've only got 25% of our seats left and we don't open for two more weeks. After the sellout of Disney's Little Mermaid just now, it seems like our market is catching on to the quality and the value of the Alhambra. Every time we have an Abba tribute band the show sells out within days, we were confident in this pick. It is going to be a blast here - even more than it usually is!”
