Mamma Mia! still echoes loudly in musical theatres and arguably remains one of the most cheerful plays at the Edinburgh Playhouse.

The play takes on some new actors since its last performance in 2019. The main actors include Jenn Grifin (Donna), Luke Jasztal (Sam Carmichael), and Lydia Hunt (Sophie).

Judy Craymer, Creator and Producer of Mamma Mia!, said:

“I’m delighted to announce this 2025 UK tour cast of Mamma Mia! and excited for them to step into these roles. Our much-loved musical tells the story of a mother, a daughter, and three possible dads, inspired by ABBA’s irresistible hits. We can’t wait for audiences across the country to escape to our Greek island idyll and have the time of their lives!”

Your last chance to buy and secure your tickets is January 4, 2026!

So what are you waiting for?!
