It has been announced that the global smash hit musical MAMMA MIA! will return to Broadway this summer, resuming performances at the musical’s original NYC home where it opened in 2001, the Winter Garden Theatre, from 2 August.

Judy Craymer said: “When MAMMA MIA! opened on Broadway in 2001, the show had already launched productions in London and Toronto and played a sold-out North American tour. Despite the glowing reception we received in those markets, nothing could have prepared us for the outpouring of love and acclaim (and dancing in the aisles!) that overwhelmed us when we arrived in New York at the magnificent Winter Garden Theatre.

“Last year, MAMMA MIA! celebrated 25 successful years in the West End, and it’s truly fantastic to bring the original production back to its Broadway home after 24 years.

“With Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus’ irresistible songs, Catherine Johnson’s wonderful story of a sunny, funny tale of a mother, daughter and three possible dads on a Greek island paradise, Phyllida Lloyd’s brilliant direction and the entire creative team’s exceptional work, returning to Broadway is a celebration for all.”

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 by Howard Harrison, sound by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material and arrangements by Martin Koch.

Broadway casting will be announced at a later date.

Tickets for MAMMA MIA! on Broadway go on general sale on 14 March for dates until 1 February 2026.
