To date, it has been seen by over 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 record-breaking run for 14 years. And it continues to thrill audiences in London’s West End at the Novello Theatre where it celebrated its 20th anniversary in April 2019.

Produced by Judy Craymer, Mamma Mia! The Movie became the highest grossing live action musical film of all time upon its release in 2008. A second film, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, opened in July 2018 and is the most successful live musical movie sequel of all time.
