Summary
Panel discussion devoted to Mamma mia!, the stage show based on songs of the pop group ABBA. Already a phenominal success in the United Kingdom, the show, now on the eve of its Broadway opening, appears to be a hit in America as well. The production's director, librettist, and producer, along with ABBA's Björn Ulvaeus, talk about how Mamma mia! developed, its reception in venues around the world, the financing behind it, and related matters. Brief performance excerpts from the production are shown. The panelists also take questions from the audience.
