When Mamma Mia! is gone, how can we even try to go on?

Audiences will no longer have to put out that particular S.O.S. because the beloved ABBA musical will return to Broadway for a limited six-month engagement beginning this summer.

Producer Judy Craymer announced the news on Tuesday. Performances will begin Aug. 2, with an official opening night set for Aug. 14. The limited engagement will run through Feb. 1, 2026.

Mamma Mia! will once again play its Broadway home, the Winter Garden Theatre, where it first opened in in 2001 and played for 14 years across the Winter Garden and the Broadhurst Theatre.

“When Mamma Mia! opened on Broadway in 2001, the show had already launched productions in London and Toronto and played a sold-out North American tour,” Craymer said in a statement. “Despite the glowing reception we received in those markets, nothing could have prepared us for the outpouring of love and acclaim (and dancing in the aisles!) that overwhelmed us when we arrived in New York at the magnificent Winter Garden Theatre. Last year, Mamma Mia! celebrated 25 successful years in the West End, and it’s truly fantastic to bring the original production back to its Broadway home after 24 years.”

From its various hit stage productions, Mamma Mia! was adapted into the beloved 2008 film of the same name starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and more. The film received a sequel, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again in 2018, which was even more well-received.

Fans have been clamoring for a third film ever since and both Streep and her costar Christine Baranski have teased the possibility of returning for another film, noting that Craymer has pitched them possible ideas and is actively looking to make it happen.

“It’s in its earliest stages,” Craymer told Deadline in 2023. “There is a story there, and I do think Meryl [Streep] should come back —— and if the script is right, she would, I think, because she really loved playing Donna.”

Baranski also noted last summer that Craymer had shared details and advised audiences not to underestimate Craymer’s ability to make things happen. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, I wish it could happen!'” Baranski said. “Judy Craymer makes things happen. She made number two happen, and it was a phenomenal hit. I wouldn’t put it past Judy Craymer to get everybody back together.”

The ABBA love is in abundance of late. They released their first album in over 40 years in 2021, Voyage, alongside launching a show of the same name at a custom-designed venue at London’s Queen Elizabeth Park that features holograms of the original quartet performing the band’s greatest hits.
