Mamma Mia! Returns to Broadway for a Six-Month Run at Winter Garden Theatre
The beloved musical “Mamma Mia!” is set to make a triumphant return to Broadway this summer. The show will begin a six-month limited engagement at the Winter Garden Theatre, running from August 14, 2025, to February 1, 2026.
This revival holds special significance, as it follows the celebration of the show’s 10,000th performance in London’s West End on July 17, 2024. The original West End production debuted on April 6, 1999, at the Prince Edward Theatre, and has since become one of the longest-running shows in West End history.
“Mamma Mia!” first graced Broadway in 2001, opening at the Winter Garden Theatre, where it enjoyed a successful 12-year run before transferring to the Broadhurst Theatre. The upcoming return to its original Broadway home is highly anticipated by fans and theater enthusiasts alike.
Producer Judy Craymer, who played a pivotal role in bringing the original production to life, expressed her enthusiasm about the show’s return to Broadway. She stated the enduring appeal of “Mamma Mia!” and its ability to bring joy to audiences worldwide.
The musical, which uses ABBA’s timeless songs into a heartwarming narrative, has been a global phenomenon, with productions staged in numerous countries and languages. Its return to Broadway offers both new audiences and long-time fans the opportunity to experience the magic of “Mamma Mia!” once again.
Tickets for the upcoming Broadway engagement are expected to go on sale soon, with a fan pre-sale scheduled for March 13, 2025, followed by general sales the next day.

Davido Reflects on His Generation’s Future in the Music Industry
Nigerian singer Davido speaks to his colleagues and shares that it is time for them to take a step back and let upcoming and rising stars shine.
“This is me and my contemporaries’ last 5–6 years. I am not going to be 40, still dragging the spotlight with guys in their 20s. Jay-Z took a break and he is doing his thing.”
“I can take a 10-year break, come back, and still do a 50-arena tour. I have the catalogue. I might decide not to make another song for the rest of my life, and nobody is touching my catalogue.”
“There are so many other things music should be able to help you branch into. I am not saying we should retire. But I am not going to be 40 and dragging the spotlight with some 20-year-old kid.”
