Mamma Mia Extends
With the first release for the trailer of the movie version of Mamma Mia! the West End show continues to go down a storm on the West End with the musical announcing a new ten month booking period.
Mamma Mia opened in London in April 1999 and the new booking period will mean it sees a decade on the West End, taking it up to 25 April 2009. The show is set to the music of Abba with a script written by Catherine Johnson. Mamma Mia tells the story of Sophie who wants to find the identity of her father before she gets married. With the wedding drawing closer 3 men arrive on the island, but which one of them is her father?
The musical has been turned into a musical starring Meryl Streep as Sophie's mother Donna and Pierce Brosnan as Sam, one of the three men. After much anticipation and speculation about the film, the first trailer was released and is viewable at the Mamma Mia Movie Website ahead of the film's summer premiere.
Since it opened,
Mamma Mia has grossed more than £2 billion worldwide, one of the most successful musicals of all time with the London version having been seen by over 4.6 million people and grossed more than £155.
