Mamma Mia! in Cleveland — 25th Anniversary Tour at Connor Palace, January 2027
Mamma Mia!, the global smash hit musical powered by the songs of ABBA, is coming to Cleveland’s Connor Palace Theatre at Playhouse Square for a three-week run from January 5 through 24, 2027. This engagement is part of the 2026–27 KeyBank Broadway Series and features the acclaimed 25th Anniversary Tour production, which returned to the road in 2026 after a historic six-month Broadway run at the Winter Garden Theatre.
Set on a sun-drenched Greek island, Mamma Mia! tells the story of Sophie Sheridan, a young bride-to-be who secretly invites three men from her mother’s past to her wedding, hoping to discover which one is her father. The show weaves 22 ABBA classics — including “Dancing Queen,” “Super Trouper,” “The Winner Takes It All,” and the title track — into a joyful, feel-good story about love, friendship, and finding your own way. The touring cast features Jessica Crouch as Donna, Juliette M. Ojeda as Sophie, Carly Sakolove as Rosie, and Jalynn Steele as Tanya.
With three weeks of performances at the Connor Palace, this is one of the longer touring engagements on the Playhouse Square calendar — and given Mamma Mia!’s universal appeal, seats will go fast. BigStub has verified resale tickets available for every performance, from orchestra to balcony, with no hidden fees and a buyer guarantee. Check the listings below to find the best seats at every price level.
Since its 1999 London premiere, Mamma Mia! has become one of the most successful musicals in history — seen by over 65 million people in 50 productions across six continents, translated into 16 languages, and inspiring two blockbuster films starring Meryl Streep. The show’s book by Catherine Johnson threads a warm, funny story of mothers, daughters, and romantic second chances through a catalogue of ABBA songs that audiences know by heart. It’s the rare musical where the entire audience sings along during the curtain call, and the 25th Anniversary Tour production has been updated with fresh energy while keeping everything fans love about the original.
The touring cast brings strong credentials to the stage. Jessica Crouch, who previously starred in Pretty Woman: The Musical, leads as Donna Sheridan, the fiercely independent mother at the center of the story. Juliette M. Ojeda (The Notebook) plays Sophie, while Carly Sakolove and Jalynn Steele return as Donna’s best friends Rosie and Tanya — the trio whose chemistry drives some of the show’s biggest laughs and most iconic musical numbers. Rob Marnell, Victor Wallace, and Leland Burnett round out the principal cast as the three possible fathers.
The Connor Palace Theatre at Playhouse Square (1621 Euclid Avenue) seats approximately 2,700 and brings Art Deco grandeur to a show that thrives on spectacle and communal joy. Located in the heart of downtown Cleveland’s theater district, the venue offers nearby parking in the Playhouse Square garage, easy RTA Red Line access at Playhouse Square station, and a walkable neighborhood of restaurants and bars perfect for a pre-show dinner. The January dates also make this an ideal winter outing — nothing warms up a Cleveland January like dancing in your seat to “Dancing Queen.”
