In 1999, “Mamma Mia!” debuted in London’s West End — and musical theater was never the same. It was the first show of the modern era to use a single artist’s catalog, namely pop sensation ABBA, to tell an original story that had nothing to do with those artists. “Mamma Mia!” became a massive hit and transferred to Broadway’s Winter Garden Theatre in 2001.

Today, “Mamma Mia!” has returned to the Winter Garden, where it is playing a six-month limited run.

But the musical has evolved over the last 25 years. In this episode, host Ruthie Fierberg talks to the production’s supervising director, choreographer and music maven about the details embedded in this Broadway mounting. Plus, hear from the actors playing Donna, Tanya and Rosie about stepping into their characters and onto the Broadway stage.
