THE smash-hit musical Mamma Mia is coming to the Edinburgh Playhouse next year as part of a UK tour.
The beloved show uses popular ABBA songs to tell the funny story of a daughter, a mother and three possible dads on a Greek island.
Discussing the tour, Judy Craymer, creator and producer of Mamma Mia, said: “It’s fabulous that Mamma Mia will be returning to Southampton, Bristol, Oxford and Edinburgh.
"Mamma Mia’s much-loved story inspired by ABBA’s irresistible hits is celebrating 25 years in the West End and continues to thrill audiences around the world.
The sunniest of all musicals is returning to Bristol, Oxford and Edinburgh - tickets are now on sale! 🇬🇧
