Mamma Mia! Broadway Returns: Cheapest Tickets Start Around $122 for Limited Run
Hi, I’m Avery Sinclair. Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Spoiler alert: it is exactly what it promises to be — ABBA hits, beach vibes and price tags that make you reassess your life choices.
If you thought Broadway was a charity for your wallet, think again. Mamma Mia! has reopened at the Winter Garden Theatre for a limited six month engagement through February 1, 2026, and the cheapest ticket we located at press time was $122 including fees on Vivid Seats. That figure came from checking available listings and cross-referencing the show’s run information and ticket aggregator pricing. Other seats on the resale market ranged up to about $333 including fees depending on date and demand, which is to say you can either pay for nostalgia or for a better view of Donna’s heartbreak.
Let us be clear on what you are buying: two hours and thirty five minutes of jukebox musical therapy with one intermission, featuring ABBA chestnuts like “Dancing Queen,” “Money, Money, Money,” “The Winner Takes It All,” and “Take a Chance On Me.” The production has received warm notices for its current leads, particularly Christine Sherrill in the role of Donna Sheridan. A recent review in the New York Post praised Sherrill’s stage presence and emotional beats, noting that she brings an accessible, Goldie Hawn-y sparkle to the part and hits the big ballads with surprising force. Amy Weaver, who plays Sophie Sheridan and makes her Broadway debut after touring with the anniversary production, is described as “as sweet as ever,” and Carly Sakolove, back in the role of Rosie, also earns favorable nods for reinvigorating the usual jokes.
Yes, the casting is a mix of Broadway first-timers and seasoned tour vets. Christine Sherrill is no stranger to the role, having headlined the Las Vegas residency, and her credits include TV and film work such as FBI: Most Wanted and appearances in other media projects. Amy Weaver joins the Broadway company after two years on the 25th Anniversary National Tour. Carly Sakolove returns to the part from previous tours and has some screen credits as well. Supporting players like Jalynn Steele and Rob Marnell bring prior Broadway and TV experience to the ensemble, keeping the production sturdy if not revolutionary.
Ticketing caveats apply: the prices noted were verified at publication but are subject to change because you are buying on the resale market. Vivid Seats, the platform where the lowest fare was listed, bills itself as a verified secondary market with a 100 percent buyer guarantee and has a breakdown of its legitimacy on its own site. That does not mean prices will remain stable. Expect fluctuations by day, date and whether the Yankees are playing that night. If you are outside New York, the show continues to run internationally at London’s Novello Theatre, so transatlantic ABBA options exist if you prefer tea with your disco.
To save you the time of searching every date, there are multiple performances across the run with lower-priced seats clustered on specific dates. At publication, the ten cheapest listings for upcoming shows spanned a range that starts in the low $120s and climbs depending on demand. All prices quoted were in US dollars and included service fees where noted, because no one likes sticker shock at checkout.
So what are you getting for $122 or a bit more? A sentimental, feel-good escape with chart-topping pop anthems, a savvy lead performance from Sherrill, and the unavoidable knowledge that you helped finance somebody’s costume glitter budget. Theater purists may scoff at jukebox musicals, and cynics will call it a nostalgic cash grab. Fair. But the crowds are smiling, the songs are catchy, and the casting is doing its job.
Final takeaway: if you want to see Mamma Mia! on Broadway without remortgaging your apartment, start your search around that $122 mark and move quickly. Prices are live and merciless. Catch it now or wait until someone reboots it during a midlife crisis tour. That’s today’s dose of reality. You’re welcome.
