Ik keek vandaag op de site van Mamma Mia Londen en ik was echt verrast. Wat gaaf dat Sanne den Besten zo furore maakt daar. Een First cast hoofdrol voor een Nederlandse! Heel erg cool!

The London production of Mamma Mia! has been seen by nearly 8 million people, played over 7,500 performances and has broken box office records in all three of its London homes.

Produced by Judy Craymer, Mamma Mia! The Movie, starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, is the highest grossing live action musical film of all time.

With music & lyrics by Benny Andersson & Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! is written by Catherine Johnson, directed by Phyllida Lloyd and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The production is designed by Mark Thompson, with lighting design by Howard Harrison, sound design by Andrew Bruce & Bobby Aitken, and musical supervision, additional material & arrangements by Martin Koch.
