MAMMA MIA! UK & International Tour Reviews
‘AN IRRESISTIBLY ENJOYABLE HIT!’
Catherine Johnson's witty and ingenious script weaves the famous ABBA songs around characters you care about. At the end the whole audience is on its feet and swaying blissfully along to the hits. What a pleasure to see that girl, watch that scene and dig the Dancing Queen. SHEER HEAVEN!’

‘A production of tremendous warmth, vitality and technical excellence that offers AN EVENING OF UNBRIDLED FUN.’
It is a tribute to the scriptwriting skill of Catherine Johnson that the ABBA songs are slotted so naturally into the storyline. While being swept along by the ingenious choreography and witty dialogue, I found myself examining ABBA’s music in a new light.’
