(New Brunswick, NJ) —State Theatre presents Mamma Mia! on Sunday, May 17, 2015 at 2pm and 8pm. This smash-hit musical combines ABBA’s greatest hits, including “Dancing Queen,” “S.O.S.,” “Super Trouper,” “Take A Chance on Me,” and “The Winner Takes It All,” with a tale of love, laughter, and friendship. Tickets range from $35-75.
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. For Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical and no-nonsense Rosie and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya—from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos. Even though Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.
Seen by over 54 million people around the world, Mamma Mia!, is celebrating 5,000 performances on Broadway and is the 9th longest running show in Broadway history. The original West End production of Mamma Mia! is now in its 15th year and has celebrated over 6,000 performances in London and the international tour has visited more than 74 foreign cities in 35 countries and been seen by over 4.3 million people. The blockbuster feature film adaptation of the show is the most successful movie musical of all time grossing $600 million worldwide. Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends, and new family found.
