Get ready to dust off your bell bottoms and sing your heart out, because the global phenomenon MAMMA MIA! is shimmying its way into Etihad Arena, Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, from June 11 to 22, and it’s bringing an explosion of romance, comedy, and ABBA-fueled nostalgia with it! The legendary musical, powered by the unforgettable hits of 70s supergroup ABBA, is back to set the stage ablaze with feel-good vibes and high-energy performances that’ll have you dancing in your seat (or the aisles).
Presented by Proactiv Entertainment, in partnership with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi and Miral, this show isn’t just a musical—it’s a full-blown celebration of love, laughter, and mother-daughter mayhem. Centered around the sun-soaked story of Sophie Sheridan, who’s on a mission to discover her father before her wedding day, the musical unfolds on a dreamy Greek island. But don’t worry—you won’t need a passport. The magic is landing right here in the capital.
With a star-studded international cast, including Steph Parry as the feisty Donna and Ellie Kingdon as her curious daughter Sophie, audiences are in for a whirlwind of emotions, from teary-eyed ballads to foot-stomping, crowd-roaring anthems like Dancing Queen, Super Trouper, and Voulez-Vous. Directed by the brilliant Phyllida Lloyd and produced by a powerhouse team including Judy Craymer, Richard East, and Björn Ulvaeus (yes, the ABBA guy!), this stage spectacle promises to be the event of the summer.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or an ABBA newbie, MAMMA MIA! is guaranteed to transport you to a world where music mends hearts, secrets unravel with a beat, and the only thing louder than the chorus is the sound of your own cheering. So, gather your friends, wear something sparkly, and prepare to say, “Here we go again!” as Abu Dhabi becomes the ultimate island of joy, glitter, and timeless tunes. 🎶✨🇦🇪
