Hit Abba musical Mamma Mia! has once again extended at its new home the Novello Theatre, taking booking through until 24 October next year.
The show premiered at the Prince Edward Theatre on 6 April 1999 before transferring to the Prince of Wales Theatre in June 2004. It has been in its current home the Novello since September 2012.
According to press material, Mamma Mia! has been seen by more than 54 million people in 39 productions and shown in 14 different languages.
The production is directed by Phyllida Lloyd and produced by Judy Craymer, who were also the creative forces behind the hit 2008 film adaptation.
Jersey Boys is also extending its run until October 2015.
The show, now at the Piccadilly Theatre, tells the story of Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, taking us on their journey from unknowns to the chart-topping band responsible for such hits as "Walk Like A Man", "Big Girls Don’t Cry" and "Oh What A Night".
Jersey Boys debuted on Broadway in 2005, and opened in London at the Prince Edward Theatre on 18 March 2008.
The current cast features Michael Watson (Frankie Valli), Matt Nalton (Nick Massi), Edd Post (Bob Gaudio) and Jon Boydon (Tommy De Vito) as the Jersey Boys.
It is now booking until 25 October 2015.
