Lunchbox Theatrical Productions announced today the second and final extension for the International Tour of the smash-hit musical MAMMA MIA!. The hugely popular production opens on 24 September 2014 at the Lyric Theatre, Hong Kong Academy for the Performing Arts, and such has been the demand for tickets that the producers have extended the season through to 2 November 2014. American Express and Infiniti are the proud co-title sponsors of the Hong Kong season of MAMMA MIA!. The MAMMA MIA! International Tour features a stellar cast from the UK. It is led by real-life husband and wife Sara Poyzer and Richard Standing, who play Donna Sheridan and Sam Carmichael respectively. The show also stars the on-and-off-stage good friend duo Geraldine Fitzgerald as Tanya and Sue Devaney as Rosie. Niamh Perry will play the role of Sophie in the MAMMA MIA! International Tour – five years after her debut performance in the West End when the musical celebrated its 10th birthday. On a recent publicity tour to Hong Kong, four leading cast, including Niamh Perry, gave the media a sneak preview of some of the hit songs from the show, and gave a taste of the excitement, fun and feel-good factor that makes this musical one of the most popular shows in London’s West End and on Broadway. “We are overwhelmed by the demand for tickets and the incredible reaction we have received since we announced the season of MAMMA MIA!. It is one of the major shows that we are bringing to Hong Kong this year,” says James Cundall, Producer and Chief Executive of Lunchbox Theatrical Productions. “What makes MAMMA MIA! so enjoyable is that the audience feel like they are attending a party. It’s a great story, filled with emotion, humour and of course the timeless songs of ABBA, and is guaranteed to uplift anyone’s mood and appeal to a diverse audience mix.” MAMMA MIA! is Judy Craymer’s ingenious vision of staging the story-telling magic of ABBA’s timeless songs with an enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolding on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father, brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. “The Perfect Ticket for a Feel-good Night Out!” MAMMA MIA! International Tour has been enthralling audiences around the world since its debut in 2004, when it was last performed in Hong Kong. From West End hit to global phenomenon, MAMMA MIA! has been seen by more than 54 million people in 39 productions in 14 different languages. MAMMA MIA! is celebrating 15 years in London's West End and is the 9th longest-running show on Broadway. MAMMA MIA! The Movie, starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, is the highest grossing live action musical film of all time. The narrative power of ABBA’s greatest hits including Dancing Queen, Take A Chance On Me and The Winner Takes It All propels this charming story of love, laughter and friendship. 2014 marks the 40th Anniversary of ABBA’s Eurovision Song Contest win with Waterloo. “The Most Fun I’ve Had in a Theatre in Years!” Toronto Star, Canada
