Here we go again! Creator and producer Judy Craymer is thrilled to announce that the global smash hit musical MAMMA MIA!, the ultimate feel-good show set to the timeless songs of ABBA, will return home to Broadway this summer.
On Saturday, August 2, 2025 at the Winter Garden Theatre (1634 Broadway), MAMMA MIA! will resume performances at the musical’s original home on Broadway, where it opened in 2001. The production played for a record-breaking 14 years and 5,773 performances at the Winter Garden and then at the Broadhurst Theatre, making it Broadway’s ninth-longest running show of all time. An opening night celebration will be held on Thursday, August 14, 2025.
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.”
Tickets for MAMMA MIA! on Broadway go on sale beginning next week. The limited engagement will play in New York for six months only, through Sunday, February 1, 2026.

Casting for MAMMA MIA! on Broadway will be announced later. Since premiering in London in 1999 and on Broadway in 2001, MAMMA MIA! is the irresistible musical that has captured the hearts of millions, seen by over 70 million people across the world, and turned into two record-breaking movies.
On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they had last visited decades ago. Songs including “Dancing Queen,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Money, Money, Money,” and “Take a Chance on Me” are all featured in this feel-good celebration of love, family and friendship.
To date, MAMMA MIA! has been seen in 50 productions in 16 different languages grossing more than $7 billion at the box office. The show has played continuously to packed houses in London since 1999, making it the third-longest running musical in West End history. During MAMMA MIA!’s original Broadway run, the show also toured North America from 2000-2017 with four different touring companies spanning this period. Multiple productions continue around the world today, including the 25th Anniversary North American tour; an International Tour that played several Chinese cities earlier this year before continuing throughout Europe; and a First-Class full-length production on board the Royal Caribbean International’s Allure of the Seas, one of the largest cruise ships in the world.
