Mamma Mia, here we go again! Back by popular demand, the music by Sweden’s pop group ABBA and the unlikely story created from it will rock Missoula once again. Days before her wedding on a luscious Greek island, Sophie is determined to learn the identify of her father. Sophie’s mother Donna has never revealed the details of the fateful summer when Sophie was conceived (“Honey Honey”). Sophie sends three wedding invitations to the likely fathers and when three accept, Donna begins to reminisce about her past with the suitors (“Knowing Me, Knowing You”). Sophie hopes for a future with her dad (“Thank You for The Music”), and the guests on the island, well……they sing, of course (“Dancing Queen”). This extremely popular musical contains adult themes and situations that may not be suitable for young children.

Luthiers from Bozeman, Livingston, Belgrade, Manhattan, Boulder, Missoula, Potomac, Alberton and Libby have all been invited to the 2026 Missoula Guitar Show to exhibit their acoustic, electric, steel and resonator guitars.

The Show gallery will be open at the ZACC from 12:00 pm Noon to 5:30 pm each day leading up to the Jazzoula evening performances.
