Mamma Mia! on Aug 16, 2024 | UCSB Arts & Lectures

Friday nights under the stars at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden

Donna, an independent hotelier in the Greek islands, is preparing for her daughter's wedding with the help of two old friends. Meanwhile Sophie, the spirited bride, has a plan. She secretly invites three men from her mother's past in hope of meeting her real father and having him escort her down the aisle on her big day. Academy Award-winner Meryl Streep leads a star-studded cast – including Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Julie Walters, Christine Baranski and Amanda Seyfried – in this musical celebration of true loves lost and new ones found. (Phyllida Lloyd, 2008, PG-13, 108 min.)
