Dubai - Ticket sales outlets for the Dubai run of the international hit musical MAMMA MIA! will open today in six different locations, organizer Done Events has announced.
Theatre-goers can choose from a total of six evening and two afternoon performances of the award-winning musical, to be held at the Madinat Arena from 1-6 April, 2007. Organizers anticipate each show will draw an audience of up to 2,000 people.
Tickets can be purchased at five Virgin Megastore locations: Deira City Centre, BurJuman, Mercato, Mall of the Emirates, and Abu Dhabi Mall, as well as the Madinat Jumeirah Box Office. Buyers will be able to choose the location of their seats at the time of purchase.
Joe Nazzal, Deputy Head of Done Events, said: "Our seat reservation system follows international standards in ticketing. From our successful management of the 2006 Dubai run of Chicago, we know how best to support the world-class entertainment we are bringing to Dubai. Patrons can be assured that a ticket purchased is a seat guaranteed."
Ticket prices for MAMMA MIA! range from AED 185 for the Upper Circle, AED 285 for the Grand Tier, AED 495 for VIP stalls, and AED 10 000 for Royal Boxes for groups of up to 12 people. Tickets can also be purchased online at www.boxofficeme.com or by calling the ticket hotline (9714) 3676520. Tickets purchased through these two options will be delivered complementary to the buyer's address in a special early-bird promotion that runs until 1 February.
The first showing of MAMMA MIA! took place in London in 1999, and since then over 30 million people around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story and the infectious ABBA tunes that get audiences dancing in the aisles. Based on a book by Catherine Johnson, this hilarious and touching tale about the relationship between a mother and her daughter unfolds in a Greek island paradise. There are currently 11 productions of MAMMA MIA! playing worldwide.
