The performance takes spectators to a paradisiacal Greek island, where Sophie Sheridan is getting ready for her wedding at her mother’s guest house. Sophie does not know who her father is, as her mother, Donna, has never told her. However, all of this changes when she finds her mother’s old journal and discovers that Donna had various romances with three different men in the summer when she was conceived. Any one of them could be her father!
To find out, Sophie decides to invite them to her wedding behind Donna’s back. Therefore, when Sam Carmichael, Harry Bright and Bill Anderson turn up on the island and discover the true reason they have been invited to the wedding, they try to resolve the mystery of Sophie’s father and who should take her up the aisle.
