Sunday, May 11th is Mother’s Day, and we are celebrating at the historic Babcock Theatre with a special screening of Phyllida Lloyd’s fantastic 2008 musical marvel, MAMMA MIA! as part of our annual MUSICAL MAY series! Adapting the successful stage play into a shimmering cinematic experience, MAMMA MIA! tells a heartwarming story of motherhood and familial bonds through energetic musical numbers performed by a star studded cast! Shot with a sharp style, a lovely color palette, and accompanied by a soundtrack of ABBA’s best songs, it’s a no-brainer why MAMMA MIA! is such a celebrated film, and its even more of a no-brainer that you should definitely bring your mom to come watch it!
Sophie Sheridan is a young bride-to-be living with her single mother on a small Greek isle at the hotel that she owns and operates. Unbeknownst to her mother, Sophie invites three of her mother’s ex-boyfriends to the hotel in the days leading up to the wedding. Each of these three men have the potential to be Sophie’s biological father, who she hopes to find so he may walk her down the isle on her wedding day.
