Pop Smart - See & Do: Theater: Mamma Mia!
The film version of MAMMA MIA!, Benny Andersson’s and Björn Ulvaeus’ surprise smash-hit musical based on the songs of ABBA, opens in theaters nationwide in July. Conveniently, the touring stage production comes to the Fox Theatre, concluding Sun., JUNE 15, to give audiences one last chance to see the source material before the likes of Meryl Streep and Colin Firth take a chance (take a chance-chance) with it. Despite ABBA’s roots as a Swedish disco supergroup, Mamma Mia! takes place on a sunny Greek island and depicts a young woman’s efforts to learn the identity of her father before she says, “I do! I do! I do!” Through June 15. $25-$64. Tues.-Fri., 8 p.m.; Sat., 2 and 8 p.m.; Sun., 1 and 6:30 p.m. Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree Road. 404-817-8700. www.ticketmaster.com.(Photo by Joan Marcus)
