The lyrical antics of Swedish super-group ABBA are brought to the big screen in a feature-film adaptation of the West End musical by the same name, 'Mamma Mia!'.

The story centers around an independent single mother, Donna, played by Meryl Streep, who owns a small hotel on a Greek island. She is about to let go of her daughter Sophie through marriage.

Sophie invites three men from her mother's past to the wedding, without her mother knowing. She hopes to discover who of the three is her father with comedic consequences.

Inspired by ABBA songs "Dancing Queen", "S.O.S", "Money Money Money" and "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia" the musical has seen global success in 160 cities and 8 languages.

The original ABBA band was internationally successful with global number one hits, selling over 370 million albums.
