Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus’ MAMMA MIA!, the smash hit musical based on the songs of ABBA, returns to the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas on Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m. The show is co-sponsored by Mix 94.1 Radio and the Tuscarawas County Community Foundation.
MAMMA MIA! is one of the most successful musicals of all time, the eighth longest-running show in Broadway history and one of only five current musicals to have run for more than 10 years on Broadway. The West End production is now in its 17th year. The international tour has visited more than 81 cities in 37 countries.
Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” and “S.O.S.” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” MAMMA MIA! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.
Tickets for MAMMA MIA! range in price from $55 to $72 and can be purchased at the Performing Arts Center Box Office, online at www.kent.edu/tusc/pac or by calling 330-308-6400.

The original production of MAMMA MIA! was produced by Judy Craymer, Richard East and Ulvaeus for Littlestar in association with Universal. The creative team responsible for bringing MAMMA MIA! to theatrical life includes some of the most gifted and celebrated talents of musical theatre and opera. With music and lyrics by Andersson and Ulvaeus, MAMMA MIA! is written by Catherine Johnson and directed by Phyllida Lloyd.
