The sensational feel-good musical Mamma
Mia! will come to Sunderland
Empire for a 4 week run from 17
October – 11 November 2017 as part of its first ever UK tour.
Mamma Mia! is Judy Craymer’s ingenious vision of staging the
story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family
and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise. To date, it has been seen
by more than 60 million people in 50 productions in 16 different languages. Mamma
Mia! The Movie starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, is the
highest worldwide grossing live-action musical film of all time.
From West End
to global phenomenon, the London
production of Mamma Mia! has now been seen by more than 10% of the entire UK population. It is one
of only five musicals to have run for more than 10 years both on Broadway and
in the West End, and in 2011,
it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the
People’s Republic of China.
Creator and Producer Judy Craymer said: “We are
thrilled to be bringing Mamma Mia! to Sunderland for the
first ever UK Tour. The heart-warming and feel-good story is fun for all the
family, and we can’t wait to share the irresistible songs of ABBA with Sunderland.”
Ben
Phillips, General Manager at Sunderland Empire said: “Mamma
Mia! is a high-energy, show stopping, feel-good production and we
are delighted to announce that the smash hit musical will play Sunderland
Empire in 2017 as part of its first ever UK tour”.
With
music & lyrics by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! is
written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by
Anthony Van Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting
design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and
musical supervision, additional material & arrangements by Martin Koch.
The
Mamma
Mia! UK Tour is
produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East & Björn Ulvaeus
for Littlestar
in association with Universal and NGM.
