Overview

The Argyle Theatre’s production of Mamma Mia! brought the sun-soaked world of the ABBA musical to Long Island, following Sophie’s search for her father on the eve of her wedding on a Greek island.

Directed and choreographed by Antoinette DiPietropolo, the production ran March 17–May 1, 2022 and featured a large company of performers in the musical’s mix of contemporary Mediterranean style, dance-driven storytelling and iconic ABBA glamour.
