| The film version of the smash-hit musical inspired by the songs of ABBA stars Meryl Streep and Julie Walters |
Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 160 cities and eight languages.
The three women who created the worldwide smash stage hit - global producer Judy Craymer, writer Catherine Johnson and director Phyllida Lloyd - repeat their roles in bringing this joyful, musical story of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads to the big screen.
An independent, single mother who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, Donna (Streep) is about to let go of Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), the spirited daughter she's raised alone. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two lifelong best girlfriends - practical and no-nonsense Rosie (Julie Walters) and wealthy, multi-divorcee Tanya (Christine Baranski) - from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos.
But Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own. On a quest to find the identity of her father to walk her down the aisle, she brings back three men from Donna's past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 chaotic, magical hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled.
Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs from Dancing Queen to Take a Chance on Me.
