"Mamma Mia!" officially returned to Broadway on Thursday night, making its comeback at its original home, the Winter Garden Theater. The musical's cast, creatives and VIPs walked the blue carpet before the curtain rose to a packed house for opening night.

Mamma Mia!” is a much-needed vacation from all the seriousness and drear. The foremother of the old-pop-songs-in-a-new-story genre is still the very best in the game.
