"Mamma Mia!"

I have not seen "Mamma Mia!" yet. I keep saying I'm going to Atlanta to see it whenever it has been in the Fox Theatre.

I'm going to miss it again!

The musical that features the songs made famous by Swedish pop band ABBA, will be in the Fox Theatre, 660 Peachtree St. N.E., June 10-15. Tickets go on sale Sunday.

It's celebrating its sixth season on Broadway, is playing in Las Vegas and on a national tour. The feature film will be released on July 18.

The musical is about a single mother, Donna, who owns a small hotel on a Greek island. Her daughter, Sophie, is about to be married. Among the wedding guests are Donna's two best girlfriends, Rosie and Tanya, her one-time back-up singers.

It turns out Sophie, who wants to find her father, so he can walk her down the aisle, invited three men from her mother's past.

The audience can hear songs like "Dancing Queen," "S.O.S.," "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me."

Performances are at 8 p.m. June 10-13, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. June 14 and 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. June 15.
