Mamma Mia! to End 14-Year Run

After 14 years on Broadway, ABBA's international smash hit musical Mamma Mia will play its final performance on September 5, 2015. 


Dear Mamma Mia! --

         Thank You for the Music... and for the 5,765 performances you’ll have clocked by the time you depart Broadway on September 5. I am certain your fans – ABBA lovers with a passion for musical comedy – will want to score return tickets between now and then, as will anyone with you on their “must-see” list who has been dragging their heels for the nearly decade and a half you’ve been enjoying standing ovations and dancing in the aisles. Hopefully, Our Last Summer together will prove as exciting and successful as it is bittersweet. 

         As they say on tiny Greek isles, Efharisto’ (thanks)... & andi'o sas (good-bye).

         Sincerely,

         Me... on behalf of Dancing Queens everywhere

 

P.S. Since its 2001 debut at the Winter Garden Theatre, Mamma Mia! has grossed more than $600 million  (“Money, Money, Money”), given direct employment to over 2,000 individuals (“One of Us”), and watched over 500 Broadway productions come and go (“The Winner Takes It All”). The crowd-pleasing musical is leaving, having acquired the rank of 8th Longest Running Show in New York History (“Super Trouper”).
