What's The story ?

Swedish songsters ABBA inspire a musical feast that's both sweet and surprisingly spicy. Sophie Sheridan is about to be married to her true love, Sky, but has no father to give her away. What's a bride to do but go poking through Mom's past for answers? In the pages of an old diary she finds a shocking secret: any of three men could be her father. She sends a letter to each one, hoping to discover who has the right to escort her down the aisle... and throwing a big fat Greek monkey wrench into Mom's life.

Three Good Reasons

1 The legendary, luminous Meryl Streep scores points for 50+ women everywhere by stealing

the show from her equally gorgeous onscreen daughter (Amanda Seyfried of Mean Girls).

2 Fans of the stage show may have thought there was no way to improve on it, but the Greek

scenery (including Pelion and Skopelos) provides a breathtaking backdrop for the tale.

3 This is the type of musical where you go into the theater humming the songs. So grab your

friends and go prove to the world that disco never died.

Bet You Didn't Know

The region of Mt. Pelion, where parts of this movie were filmed, has also been graced by another legendary wedding. Tradition names it as the site of the marriage of Thetis and Peleus, parents of the mythical hero Achilles.
