British playwright Catherine Johnson wrote this stage musical which features the songs of Swedish pop artists ABBA. The show’s title, ‘Mamma Mia!’, is also the title of one of ABBA’s 1975 Euro chart hits. This song, like all the others featured in the show, was composed by former ABBA songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus who have also collaborated in the stage musical project. Another former ABBA member, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, has also played an active role behind the scenes and attended many international premieres. The show has played to a total audience of 54 million and earned $2 billion in the process.
