About Mamma Mia…
We’re so excited to be back and bring performance and technical experiences to young people and live theater to our audiences.
ABBA’s hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.
The story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A large cast, non-stop laughs and explosive dance numbers combine to make Mamma Mia! a guaranteed smash. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you’ll never forget!
Mamma Mia! Come! Bring the Whole Family and Your Entire Friend Circle!
Mamma Mia As the Critics See It…
“Mamma Mia!” flies as tuneful as a lark and as smart as a cuckoo. It offers one of those nights when you sit back and let a nutty kind of joy just sweep over you… The true hero is British playwright Catherine Johnson, who took all these songs and cobbled a cohesive book around them. Genius.”
Clive Barnes, New York Post, 10/19/2001
“Mamma Mia!,” which weaves a few threads of romantic comedy around a bumper crop of old Abba tunes, is a thoroughly preposterous show, but it’s also a giddy guilty pleasure…”
Charles Isherwood, Variety, 10/18/2001
“Almost two dozen hits from the ’70s pop sensation ABBA form the spine of this worldwide smash, which book writer Catherine Johnson has feebly fleshed out into a mother-daughter comedy-drama. As theater, Mamma Mia! is forgettable.”
David Cote, Time Out New York, 10/19/2001
Join YPTers and Experience Musical Theater at its Best…
“My grandchildren loved YPT’s production of Beauty and the Beast here in Ann Arbor better than the one that I took them to see in New York City! Thank You, YPT! Madeline, Beauty and the Beast, 2006
“I thought I was coming to a kids’ production. Those kids were amazing and so professional and I loved every minute!” Andrew, Seussical
“Broadway could not have been more delightful than watching Dorothy and friends on the stage here in Ann Arbor, Michigan! The show was incredible in every possible way! I won’t miss another YPT production!” DeDe, The Wizard of Oz
“Wow! Totally amazing! I forgot that I was watching really young people up there on that stage! They were so professional and it was fabulous in every way! Loved the set and the costumes and it was all just amazing!” Charles, The Little Mermaid
“YPT has been like a second home to me over the last 5 years. It has given me a chance to learn and grow and do what I love best. It has been a life-changing experience and I am so glad that it is here for young people!” Sue, YPT Young Person
