Mamma Mia! at Sunderland Empire review: Ultimate feel-good 70s party which you don’t want to end!

Smile, laugh and fall in love all over again as the enchanting show Mamma Mia! packed full of iconic ABBA songs arrives in Sunderland.

Glorious sets, stunning costumes and those high-octane numbers make it easy to see why Mamma Mia! is one of the most popular and feel-good musicals in the world and this sunny extravaganza should not be missed.

One of the strongest memories I’ve got from my Seventies childhood is the wonderful songs of ABBA drifting through the house from my Dad’s Hitachi Music Centre and us all dancing in the kitchen. ABBA music has been the backdrop of my life and it’s no doubt the same for many of us, which might explain why more than 65 million people worldwide have flocked to see this show. And the Sunderland Empire was packed to the rafters with young and old ready for a party.
