Weddings are stressful for everyone, but few weddings have ever been as stressful as Sophie Sheridan’s. She was conceived during a spell when her free-spirited mother, Donna Sheridan, had three lovers. So who’s the father of the bride? A new production of Mammia Mia!, now playing at the Winter Garden Theater, is directed by Phyllida Lloyd, who helmed the previous Broadway production and the box-office smash Mamma Mia! movie. Beloved for its ABBA-centric soundtrack and joyous themes, the musical has been a fixture in the culture since its 1999 debut, in the West End. Back on Broadway, Mamma Mia! looks set to reclaim its position at the top of the cultural zeitgeist. —Alice Browne
