Set on a Greek island paradise where the sun always shines, this is a tale of love, friendship, and identity beautifully told through the timeless hits of ABBA. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the father she’s never known brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited decades ago. Read more about Broadway in Boston, Mamma Mia.
