One of the rare jukebox musicals that sits squarely in the profit column is "Mamma Mia!,” a show that features music by the Swedish pop group ABBA.

ABBA is cinematic because their songs fit perfectly into the beats of any good movie. Their songs have heart, deep emotions, life, heartbreak, and energy.

Mamma Mia! is a light, sometimes silly, romantic musical comedy featuring gorgeous scenery, a catchy soundtrack and a well-known cast. The main messages from this movie are that sometimes you must take a chance and risk everything in order to achieve your dreams.

“In 'Mamma Mia! ' there's a universal theme of identity and the struggle revolving around finding one's identity, which is part of human nature. Sophie is a prime example of that in that she is attempting to find her dad to fill in the missing piece of herself.
