Milwaukee encores hit musical Mamma Mia!

In case you didn't get enough ABBA in your diet last summer, Mamma Mia! will return to The Marcus Center for the Performing Arts for a special engagement, August 17-29, 2004.

This Broadway smash hit, inspired by the '70s songs of the Swedish singing group ABBA, originally ran in Milwaukee during the summer of 2002 for 16 mostly-sold-out shows.

The show takes place on a Greek island where 20-year-old Sophie is due to be married. Her mom, who happens to be a former singing star, is already living there, but Sophie's father is not present because she is not sure who he is.

So, Sophie researches mom's diary and chooses three former lovers as likely candidates and invites them to the wedding, thinking she will figure it out when she sees them.

The amusing, heartfelt musical has a plot independent from the song lyrics, but features the popular ABBA songs "The Winner Takes It All," "Money, Money, Money," "Dancing Queen," "S.O.S," "Knowing Me, Knowing You," "Take A Chance on Me," "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" and more.

Tickets go on sale in 2004, but season ticket holders can already reserve seats. For more information, call (414) 273-7121, x210.
