Since opening in August 2019, Mamma Mia! The Party has welcomed more than 600,000 guests and played over 1,500 performances, attracting audiences from 110 countries.

The production is executive produced by Björn Ulvaeus and Pophouse Entertainment. The London version is co-directed and choreographed by Stacey Haynes and Roine Söderlundh, with a book by Sandi Toksvig, music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, and design work by Bengt Fröderberg, Patrick Woodroffe, Gareth Owen and Annsofi Nyberg.
