Global smash hit musical Mamma Mia! celebrated its 20th anniversary in London’s West End at the Novello Theatre on 6 April 2019. At the special performance, 13 former ‘Dynamos’ joined in the finale and at the curtain call producer Judy Craymer, director Phyllida Lloyd, book writer Catherine Johnson and ABBA songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus just happened to be there too. How can we resist this show?

For each day & each performance in April, 20 tickets for £20 will be on offer. Now where did we put our lycra and platforms?
They had big voices and even bigger hair! CHESS was a huge hit in the 80's and one of the last shows of its time to have such huge crossover appeal! Arguably the most recognisable song from this classic show is the pop-ballad duet "I Know Him So Well". Bring in the weekend with this iconic music video...

My my, what a fantastic idea! When Björn Ulvaeus saw how much fun audiences were having at performances of MAMMA MIA! he wondered how they could take the awesome atmosphere further. Thus, MAMMA MIA! THE PARTY was born. Opening in Stockholm last year, it has been a huge sell-out success, and now Björn wants to bring the fun and festivities to London...
