Feel-good musical on its way to Curve

FEEL-GOOD musical Mamma Mia! is heading to Curve next year, the Leicester theatre has announced.

The show will be at the theatre for a two-week run from Tuesday, September 13, to Saturday, September 24, 2022, as part of a UK and international tour celebrating 22 years since Mamma Mia! premiered in London.

The tale of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads on a Greek island idyll unfolds to the sound of ABBA’s timeless songs.

Since premiering in London’s West End 22 years ago, the musical has been turned into two record-breaking movies - Mamma Mia! The Movie and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Judy Craymer, creator and producer of Mamma Mia!, said: “I am so excited Mamma Mia! will be back touring the UK and for us to be visiting Leicester for the first time.

“I hope audiences have the best time being together again escaping to a Greek island idyll and enjoying the feel-good story of Mamma Mia! and wonderful music of ABBA – it’s huge fun!”

To date, Mamma Mia! has been seen by more than 65 million people in 50 productions in 16 different languages. In 2011, it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the People’s Republic of China.

Mamma Mia! became the eighth longest-running show in Broadway history where it played a recordbreaking run for 14 years.

Tickets will go on sale to Curve Friends on Thursday, May 13, to Supporters from Friday, May 14 and Members from Monday, May 17.

Tickets will be on general sale from Thursday, May 20, all at 12pm.
