This autumn, the ever-popular Mamma Mia! musical will be hitting the stage of the Grimaldi Forum Monaco for a number of thrilling matinée and evening performances. The show has proved so successful with local theatre lovers and fans of the iconic ABBA soundtrack that an additional showing has been announced for 13th October. Here are all the details.
Come October, the Grimaldi Forum will welcome the West End smash sensation of Mamma Mia!, a story about a mother and daughter who have lived their lives on a quiet Greek island. When the daughter announces her wedding, three men from her mother’s past, any of whom could be the girl’s father, gather for the event.
The would-be fathers all vie to be top dad, and the tale unfolds to hilarious – and touching – effect to the toe-tapping tunes of supergroup ABBA.
First performed in 1999 in London’s West End, word of the show quickly spread and it became a universal sensation. To date, more than 65 million people have enjoyed the Mamma Mia! experience, which has been translated into 16 different languages. It is the West End’s third-longest running musical ever.
The Grimaldi Forum’s performances will be held on 9th, 10th and 11th October at 8pm. On 12th October, there will be shows at 3pm and 8pm. The final performance had been scheduled for 3pm on 13th October, but now an additional evening show at 7.30pm has been confirmed by the venue.
All of the performances will be conducted in English with French subtitles. The shows will run for just over two and a half hours with a 20-minute intermission.
