Written by Catherine Johnson, MAMMA MIA! is the enchanting tale of family and friendship that unfolds on a Greek island paradise. “Lay All Your Love on Me!” On the evening of her wedding, daughter and bride-to-be Sophie invites three men from her mother’s past back to the island they visited 20 years ago in the hope of discovering which one is her father. “Does Your Mother Know?” MAMMA MIA! is a story of love laughter and friendship – it’s a wedding, it’s a party. Come celebrate with the ultimate guaranteed feel-good musical. “I Do, I Do, I Do!”

“Take a Chance on Me” MAMMA MIA! is directed by legendary writer and director, Janice Honeyman working with an award-winning team including choreographer Duane Alexander; Music Director, Charl-Johan Lingenfelder and Resident/Associate Director, Timothy Le Roux. Set and lighting design by Denis Hutchinson; sound design by Mark Malherbe; costume design by Susan Daniels. Alistair Kilbee of Gearhouse Splitbeam is the Technical Director and Peter Taylor is the Company Manager.

“After it’s highly successful season in 2010, Showtime Management is once again proud to be staging MAMMA MIA!”, says Hazel Feldman of Showtime Management. “MAMMA MIA! is timeless. The production has been seen by more than 65 million people in 50 countries around the globe since 1999. The loveable characters, the popular songs and the laughable quips are the same but, with a fresh new look by our proudly South African creative team. MAMMA MIA! is a great family outing, a guaranteed feel-good show.” ‘Thank you for the music.”
