MAMMA MIA! Yes, it is true! It’s been 10 years since the spectacular opening of Mamma Mia! in Slovenian translation and adaptation, which captured Slovenian audience’s imagination and convinced even the critics, that Slovenian creative teams can match those of the biggest stage productions in the world.  Not only match, but sometimes even outmatch them.  That just may be one of the reasons why it seems as though 10 years passed as quickly as a summer breeze in the Greek islands.
On June 14th, 2025, Križanke open air theatre will once again transform itself into a Greek island where we will once again enjoy this timeless romantic comedy about a girl who grew up in the 70’s and the other one who grew up in the 90’s.  Through the magical expressive might of ABBA’s songs we meet Donna, a single and independent mother, who does not need a man to lead a fulfilling life.  We also meet her twenty-year-old daughter Sophie, who longs for romance, children of her own and a big fairytale wedding.
How will the story full of optimism and energy end this time?  Will we finally find out who Sophie’s father is?

Do not miss out on this exceptional opportunity to join us in celebration of the 10th anniversary of this unforgettable and most coveted musical in Slovenian history.

The musical will be performed in Slovene and it lasts approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, including an intermission.
