Mamma Mia! producer Judy Craymer said: “It’s going to be wonderful to experience the original musical literally under the stars in the beautiful grounds of Harewood House.

“Mamma Mia! lends itself perfectly to the outdoors and what better way to leave lockdown than to be transported to our sunny Greek idyll. As we look forward to Mamma Mia!’s return to the West End, we can’t wait for you to join us in the open air for the first time ever!”

Tickets go on sale from March 19 on mamma-mia.com/harewood-house.

Set on a Greek island paradise, Mamma Mia! cleverly tells a story of love, friendship and identity through the timeless songs of ABBA.

Sophie’s quest to discover the father she’s never known brings her mother face to face with three men from her distant romantic past on the eve of a wedding they’ll never forget!

Mamma Mia features music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus with a book by Catherine Johnson, direction from Phyllida Lloyd and choreography from Anthony Van Laast.
