Mamma Mia! the musical is a production of Judy Craymer. The musical is based on the songs by the famous Swedish band, ABBA that managed to hit the charts with many of its albums during the 70's and early 80's. Judy Craymer came up with the idea of combining the songs and creating a musical when in 1983, she met original ABBA songwriters, Benny Anderson and Bjom Ulvaeus. Craymer asked the famous playwright Catherine Johnson to write a book for the musical in 1997. Phyllida Lloyd was chosen as the director for Mamma Mia. With the collaboration of these three women, Mamma Mia! the musical became a commercial success across British, and later on throughout the world.
