The worldwide smash-hit musical MAMMA MIA! is coming to 3Arena from Wednesday, 25 September to Sunday, 29 September 2024 for 7 performances only.
Audiences will fall head over heels for the sunny, funny tale of a mother, daughter, and her three possible fathers on a Greek island idyll, where everything unfolds to the magic of ABBA's timeless songs.
Judy Craymer, Creator and Producer of MAMMA MIA! said, “We are really thrilled to be bringing MAMMA MIA! back to Dublin where the hugely successful MAMMA MIA! International Tour first opened at the Point Theatre in 2004. It was such a joyous experience so it is only fitting that the International Tour returns to Dublin to celebrate 20 years of performances in 2024 at 3Arena. MAMMA MIA! is a truly heart-warming story inspired by the irresistible music of ABBA and we can’t wait for the Dublin audiences, once again, to have the time of their lives!”
In the past 20 years the MAMMA MIA! International Tour has visited 41 countries, performed more than 3,500 shows and has been seen by over 7 million people. MAMMA MIA! is now in its 24th year in London, has been seen by over 10 million people and is the 3rd longest running musical in West End history. MAMMA MIA! became the 8th longest running show in Broadway history where it played a record-breaking run for 14 years. In 2011, it became the first Western musical ever to be staged in Mandarin in the People’s Republic of China. MAMMA MIA! has been seen live on stage by over 65 million people across the world and turned into two record-breaking movies.
MAMMA MIA! The Movie, produced by Judy Craymer in 2008, became the highest-grossing musical of all time upon its release and the second film, MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN, (2018) is the most successful live musical movie sequel of all time.

The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and musical direction, additional material, and arrangements by Martin Koch.
