Mamma Mia! Tickets

Dance the night away to ABBA’s greatest hits at the hilarious West End musical that inspired the film.

The jukebox hit that inspired the film

Swedish pop legends ABBA join forces with director Phyllida Lloyd for a jukebox musical like no other. Perfect for dancing queens young and old, discover the joyful show that inspired the hit film!

Mamma Mia! weaves ABBA’s back catalogue into a witty original story about mother and daughter Donna and Sophie, who live together on a small Greek island. As Sophie’s wedding day approaches, she’s desperate for her long-lost father to walk her down the aisle. Luckily for her, Donna’s diary has some clues… for not one, but three potential dads!

Audiences who couldn't get enough of Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth on the big screen will adore the Mamma Mia! West End show, which features ABBA’s best-loved hits, including "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme", "Dancing Queen" and "SOS".

What is the Mamma Mia musical about?

Sophie and her mother Donna have lived peacefully on a Greek island since she was a child. But as Sophie’s wedding approaches, she becomes restless. Who is her father, and would he want to walk her down the aisle?

A peek inside her mum’s diary from 19 years earlier gives her three potential names: Harry Bright, Bill Austin and Sam Carmichael. Throwing caution to the wind, she decides to invite all of them to her wedding without Donna’s knowledge.

This original story was inspired by some of Swedish pop group ABBA’s greatest hits, which are woven throughout the narrative to create cheeky, romantic and heart-rending moments as Sophie comes face-to-face with her dads and Donna has to face up to her past!

    Tickets FAQ

    Ticket prices typically range from around £18 to over £200 depending on availability and performance dates.
    Premium tickets are in the centre of Stalls Rows J and K, and the middle of Circle Row A. These seats can cost over £200 but offer unrivalled views of the stage.

    Seats like Stalls J14 are ideal. From here, you will feel immersed in the action, as if “the actors were performing it straight to you”. The central Stalls are also a great place to be when you are invited to get to your feet and dance along to some of ABBA’s hits at the end of the show.
    The best way to get cheap or good value tickets for this show is to book in advance, so you have more choices. Also look at midweek performances if you can be flexible. Some seats are at least 25% cheaper in the middle of the week compared to the weekend.

    Sunday matinees are often cheaper than Saturday matinees as well, with price differences of up to 30% on selected seats.

    The theatre has lots of decent cheaper seats, so always check the view and reviews from SeatPlan users when you book to find hidden gems. Seats like Stalls Q1 and Grand Circle D4 are marked restricted view, for example, but for the price are very good value.
