The Plot !!

Mamma Mia! is an upcoming film adaptation of the West End musical of the same name based on the songs of pop super group ABBA. The title of the film comes from the group's 1975 chart-topper "Mamma Mia". It will be produced by Universal Pictures in partnership with Playtone and Littlestar.

Mamma Mia! is based on the songs of ABBA. ABBA was a Swedish pop group active from 1972-1982 and one of the most internationally popular Pop groups of all-time, topping the charts again and again in Europe, the United Kingdom, North America and Australia. Following the musical premiere in London in April 1999, ABBA Gold topped the charts in the United Kingdom again. This musical was the brain child of creative producer, Judy Craymer. She met songwriters Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson in 1983 when they were working with Tim Rice on Chess, It was the song "The Winner Takes It All" that suggested to her the great theatrical potential of their pop songs. The songwriters were not enthusiastic, but they were not completely opposed to the idea In 1997, Judy commissioned Catherine Johnson to write the book for the musical. In 1998, Phyllida Lloyd became the director for the show It is very unusual for three women to form the collaborative force behind such a commercial success in musical theatre, and this unusual collaboration is likely responsible for the fact that the story features three strong women.

The Movie will be released on July 10th, 2008 in the United Kingdom, and July 3, 2008 in Greece. Oscar winner Meryl Streep will head the cast of the film, playing the role of single mother Donna Sheridan.
