Historically, Mamma Mia! was a breakthrough moment for the jukebox musical. In its wake came numerous flops based on the songbooks of the Beach Boys, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, John Lennon and many others.

“Mamma Mia!” endured plenty during its first Broadway life — wars, hurricanes, the 2008 financial meltdown, the move to a smaller theater and critics, who never warmed to the show’s high-energy sweetness.
