"Mamma Mia!" Returns to Broadway: A Musical Revival That Will Leave You Dancing
The lights dimmed at the Winter Garden Theatre on August 14th, signaling the triumphant return of "Mamma Mia!" to the Great White Way. The iconic jukebox musical, based on the timeless songs of ABBA, has been delighting audiences for decades, and its latest revival is no exception. After a decade-long absence, this beloved show is back in town, running through February 1st, 2026, with a limited six-month engagement.
As I stepped into the theatre, I couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia wash over me. The familiar ABBA tunes, which have become synonymous with summer nights and carefree fun, filled the air once again. But this revival is not just about revisiting old favorites; it's also an opportunity to experience something new.
The story remains the same: Sophie Sheridan, a young bride-to-be, searches for her father on a sun-drenched Greek island, accompanied by three hopeful candidates and her free-spirited mother, Donna. The music, however, is where the magic truly lies. With hits like "Dancing Queen," "Money, Money, Money," and "The Winner Takes It All" taking center stage, it's no wonder this show has become a theater mainstay.
But what makes this revival truly special is its talented cast. Christine Sherrill takes on the iconic role of Donna, bringing her own unique energy to the character. Amy Weaver shines as Sophie, while Carly Sakolove and Jalynn Steele bring their own brand of sass to Rosie and Tanya, respectively. And with 25 members of the ensemble making their Broadway debuts, this production is a true celebration of new talent.

"Mamma Mia!" is more than just a musical – it's an experience that transcends generations and cultures. It's a reminder that, no matter what our differences may be, we're all united by our love of song.
