John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s world famous fantasy novel, since its publishing 1955, has been sold in more than 100 million copies worldwide. The three-episode film adaptation can be considered an obvious success too; the monstrous movie has been awarded 17 Oscars. It is not surprising after all this that theatrical life has set their eyes on The Lord of the Rings, in connection with the musical version, however, the astounding budget is much more often mentioned than the overwhelming success. The London Lord of the Rings happens to be the most expensive production of the history of the West End so far; it cost 25 million pounds in total.

A light, humorous and lively story plus twenty-two well-known megahits from ABBA - they compose the ingredients of the massive success of the musical titled MAMMA MIA! The play set out from the West End in London eight years ago - since then it has been performed in 140 cities of five continents, and is still an attraction after several thousand performances. The musical comes to Hungary for seven nights in October; organising additional performances will most probably be needed - you can bet on it!
