Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film adaptation of the
beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 160 cities
and 8 languages around the world.
Bringing the timeless lyrics and melodies of iconic super group ABBA to movie
audiences, Summer 2008 is the season for Mamma Mia!
The three women who created the worldwide smash stage hit—global producer Judy
Craymer, writer Catherine Johnson and director Phyllida Lloyd—repeat their roles
in bringing this joyful, musical story to the big screen.
The Mamma Mia! film is produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman.
Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Christine Baranski, Julie
Walters, Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper join Streep in this celebration of a
mother, a daughter and three possible dads.
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island,
Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited
daughter she’s raised alone. For
Sophie’s wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends—practical
and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya
(Christine Baranski)—from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos.
But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own.
On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she
brings back three men from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they
visited 20 years earlier. Over 24
chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled
on this lush island full of possibilities.
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.
