About the Show
Sophie and Sky are about to get married and Sophie wants her father to walk her down the aisle. However, she doesn’t know which of the three (!) men her mother has mentioned from the past is that guy. A hilarious story ensues in Sophie’s search for her birth father as Donna (her mother) reunites with her former band mates (from Donna and the Dynamos) and her former lovers. The show is set on a beautiful Greek Island with ABBA’s hits telling the story.
