Producer Judy Craymer was first
inspired to create a musical using the music of ABBA to tell
an original story in 1987. On April 6, 2009, the production
celebrated 10 fabulous years on the West End, having been
seen by over 5 million people, grossing over £185 million
at the UK Box Office.
From West End smash hit to
global phenomenon, “MAMMA MIA!” has already been seen by
more than 40 million people in over 190 cities across North
America, Australia, Europe and Asia. It has already
grossed over $2 billion at the box office
worldwide.
The International Tour is in its fifth
year of touring, having been seen by over 3 million people
in cities as diverse as Cape Town, Zurich, Dublin, Beijing,
Taipei, Berlin, Paris, Lisbon, Pretoria, Dubai, Copenhagen,
Tel Aviv, Riga, Shanghai, Helsinki, Bratislava, Prague,
Glasgow and Budapest.
Judy Craymer anticipates the
show’s success in New Zealand: "It’s fantastic that
the MAMMA MIA! International Tour is coming to Christchurch,
Auckland and Wellington. These are vibrant, modern cities,
well known for their love of arts and culture. We hope that
New Zealand takes MAMMA MIA! to its hearts as has happened
all over the world.”
With music and lyrics by
Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, “MAMMA MIA!” is
directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van
Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson with
lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew
Bruce & Bobby Aitken and musical supervision, additional
