So close!

"ABBA" is a palindrome - it's spelled the same forward and backward! The legendary Swedish pop group's music inspired MAMMA MIA!, the global musical that's had audiences on their feet for more than 25 years.

“The audience went wild. They were literally out of their seats and singing and dancing in the aisles - and they still are. Every night.” - MAMMA MIA! producer and creator, Judy Craymer

When MAMMA MIA! first premiered in London in 1999, no one knew how audiences would react. The answer came immediately: people couldn't stay in their seats!

More than 60 million people later, this global phenomenon continues to bring audiences together through its infectious story, feel-good energy, and the unforgettable music of ABBA.

Now it’s your turn! Join Citadel Theatre’s MAMMA MIA! Song-Along, July 24-26 at the Gloria Dei Center in Lake Forest, and sing, dance and celebrate the songs you know and love.
