Soon, audiences in China will be able to find out. The ABBA-inspired, Greek island-set hit musical is set to open in China in June 2011. The show will be presented in a Chinese-language production with a Chinese creative team. Auditions will be held in a three-round casting process August and November 2010 and January 2011.
This will be the thirteenth foreign-language production Mamma Mia! has received.

It is currently running there, at the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway, and in various national and international productions and tours.
