Mamma Mia! Visits Philadelphia on Its Farewell Tour This Winter!

Presented by the Kimmel Center and The Shubert Organization, Mamma Mia! returns to Philadelphia this holiday season as part of its final farewell tour! As someone who never saw Mamma Mia! on Broadway, thinking it would always be there for me to see, I am so excited that the show is on a final tour so that many like me can say hello and goodbye.

Allentown, PA native Lizzie Markson is also set to appear in one of the lead roles, Sophie, in the national touring production, which brings another level of excitement for Pennsylvania natives coming to the Merriam Theater this winter.

MAMMA MIA! is one of the most successful musicals of all time, the eighth longest-running show in Broadway history and one of only five musicals to have run for more than ten years on Broadway. The West End production is now in its eighteenth year.

To date, MAMMA MIA! has been seen by over 60 million people worldwide in 50 productions in 16 different languages. Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” MAMMA MIA! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

MAMMA MIA! is produced by Work Light Productions, whose other touring productions include Cinderella, RENT 20th Anniversary Tour, Motown (coming to Philadelphia May 30–June 11, 2017 at the Academy of Music), Irving Berlin’s White Christmas, and Vocalosity.
