Where Are the Musical Stars Now?
They’re still dancing queens! The cast of Mamma Mia quickly stole viewers’ hearts when the film debuted in 2008 — and the movie’s popularity has only grown since.
Meryl Streep stars as Donna Sheridan, a down-on-her-luck inn owner living on Greek island Kalokairi with daughter Sophie (Amanda Seyfried). As Sophie prepares for her wedding, she gets curious about the identity of her father and invites three of her mother’s former flames to stay with them before the ceremony. Based on the 1999 jukebox musical of the same name, the characters weave the romantic tale through some of ABBA’s greatest hits, including “Dancing Queen,” “Super Trouper” and “The Winner Takes It All.”
Written by Catherine Johnson and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, the movie made a big splash when it hit theaters, earning $609.8 million at the worldwide box office. Fans flocked to see the ensemble of famous faces belt out the band’s chart-topping hits, and in July 2018, much of the cast returned for sequel Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
