Book Mamma Mia! at the Novello Theatre. ABBA songs, Greek-island wedding story, about 2 hours 35 including interval.
Mamma Mia! is the feel-good ABBA musical at the Novello Theatre, set on a sunlit Greek island where Sophie invites three men who might be her father to her wedding, and Donna rediscovers old friends and old sparks. Choose your date and official seats on the Mamma Mia! tickets page.
Built around ABBA hits such as Dancing Queen, Super Trouper and The Winner Takes It All, the show has been a West End favourite for more than 27 years and remains one of the easiest nights out to share with family or friends on British Theatre.
Plan for about 2 hours and 35 minutes, including a fifteen-minute interval. Expect colour, comedy and a finale that often has the whole room on its feet. The Novello Theatre sits on Aldwych, a short walk from Covent Garden and Temple, with plenty of pre-theatre food nearby. Arrive early so you can settle before the first downbeat.
Pick a performance, compare seats for the Novello, then book through Mamma Mia! on British Theatre. Stalls keep you close to the party energy. Dress Circle gives a clear view of the full stage picture. Casting can change, so check the listing for the date you want.
There is no formal dress code. Smart casual is typical, and many people dress for a celebration. Leave time for Aldwych traffic and the Novello foyers. Outside food and drink are not allowed in the auditorium. Phones off, and no photography during the show. The production uses flashing lights. Official merchandise is usually available around the performance.
If you want another big West End musical night, see Wicked or The Lion King. For a family adventure with a newer score, try Matilda the Musical.
Recommended for ages 5 and above. Children under 3 are not admitted. Confirm the listing for your date.
About 2 hours and 35 minutes, including a fifteen-minute interval. Evening performances often start at 7.30pm; Thursday and Saturday matinees often start at 3.00pm. Confirm the listing for your date.

The production is directed by Phyllida Lloyd, with choreography by Anthony Van Laast, production design by Mark Thompson, lighting by Howard Harrison, and musical supervision by Martin Koch.
Mamma Mia! has become one of the most successful musicals of all time, grossing over £4.5 billion at the box office worldwide. While it didn't win major awards at the Oliviers or Tonys (competing against strong fields), it won the hearts of over 70 million people globally and inspired two blockbuster films. The show has played in 50 productions, in 16 different languages.
