Things to Know Before You Go
Do I need to be an ABBA fan to enjoy MAMMA MIA!?
You do not have to know every ABBA album to have a good time. The musical is built so that the story comes first, with the songs supporting the emotions of each scene. If you already love ABBA, you will appreciate how the numbers are reimagined; if you are new to the music, you will recognise more tunes than you expect.
Is MAMMA MIA! suitable for children?
MAMMA MIA! is generally suitable for families and is often enjoyed by older children and teenagers. The story includes themes of romance, single parenthood and mild innuendo, but nothing graphic. Very young children may find the running time long, so it is worth considering whether they can comfortably sit through a full evening performance.
How long does MAMMA MIA! run?
The running time is approximately 2 hours 35 minutes, including an interval. The show is structured around well-known musical numbers, which helps the evening feel fast-paced and engaging.
Is MAMMA MIA! a good option for a celebration night out?
Yes, MAMMA MIA! is a popular choice for birthdays, hen weekends and reunions. The combination of upbeat music, colourful staging and a warm-hearted story makes it ideal for groups who want a relaxed, feel-good atmosphere.
Can I sing along during the performance?
Most theatres encourage audiences to save full sing-alongs for curtain call and encores so that everyone can hear the performers clearly during the main show. You are very welcome to tap your foot, quietly hum along and then give it your all when the cast invites you to join in at the end.
Where is MAMMA MIA! performed in London?
MAMMA MIA! is performed at the Novello Theatre, close to the Strand and a short walk from Covent Garden and Charing Cross. The central location makes it easy to combine the show with pre-theatre drinks or dinner nearby.
About this show
Escape to a sun-drenched Greek island without leaving London as MAMMA MIA! lights up the Novello Theatre. This feel-good musical weaves ABBA’s timeless hits into the story of Sophie, a young woman determined to uncover the identity of her father before her wedding, and Donna, the independent mother who thought she had left the past behind. From “Dancing Queen” to “The Winner Takes It All”, the songs are performed live with plenty of humour, heart and a touch of chaos along the way. Whether you know every lyric or only recognise the big choruses, MAMMA MIA! offers a joyful West End night out for friends, families and ABBA fans who want to sing, laugh and maybe shed a happy tear or two.
