A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!

Get ready to say “I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do!” Mamma Mia!, the smash-hit musical based on the songs of Swedish super-group ABBA opens in Auckland this Saturday and will run for a strictly limited season at the Bruce Mason Centre. Good tickets are still available from Ticketmaster.
