### **About the MAMMA MIA! musical**
The bright and loving Sophie lives with her mother Donna Sheridan on the idyllic islands of Greece, and she has a dream - to have her father walk her down the aisle. Only…Sophie doesn’t know who her father is. One fateful day when she stumbles upon her mother’s old diaries, she finds three men's names scribbled amongst hearts - Harry, Bill and Sam.
Sophie decides that it’s time to take matters into her own hands.
She doesn’t know which old flame to invite to her wedding, so she invites them all. When the three men dock up on the island, things take an interesting turn, and Sophie tries everything in her power to figure out the ultimate secret - which one of them is her father?
