The story takes place on a fictional Greek island. Sophie has always wanted to know who her real father was; Donna wouldn't talk about her past. Sophie reads through her mother's (Donna's) diary and finds entries where Donna describes intimate dates with the three men. Sophie believes that one of these three men is her father. She sends them invitations to her wedding without letting her mother know.
The three men - Harry "Head Banger" Bright, Bill Austin, and Sam Carmichael - all have their own quirks. Harry is a nerdy banker with a unique laugh; Bill is a stereotypical Australian; Sam is an architect who had an affair with Donna while engaged to another woman. In addition, Donna invited two of her old friends; Tanya, a rich multiple (three-time) divorcee, and Rosie, an unmarried woman who likes to have fun. The three of them used to be in a singing group called "Donna and the Dynamos.
Sophie initially believes Bill is her father because his aunt Sophia left a large amount of money for family. Donna says Sophie was named after a Sophia, and that the money to build the taverna came in an inheritance. She asks Bill to give her away at the wedding, and he agrees to do it. Soon thereafter, Harry and Sam figure out what's going on, and approach Sophie about it. All three possible fathers believe that they're giving Sophie away.
Sophie sends notes to the three men saying that her mother is going to give her away instead. At the wedding, it is finally made clear to all three men that Sophie's paternity is undetermined, but everyone involved agrees that they don't need to know the truth, and all three men are glad to be a part of Sophie's life. Sophie and her fiancé realize they actually don't want to get married. Instead of letting the wedding preparations go to waste, Donna marries Sam, who is divorced from his erstwhile fiancée. It's also made apparent that Rosie and Bill have become attracted to each other. Harry, on the other hand, who makes frequent references to his "other half" throughout the show, is revealed to be in a committed homosexual relationship with a man named Nigel. Sophie and Sky leave the island to travel the world together.

Sound of Music. Vs. Wicked.

Over a quarter of a million people have now seen Wicked since the theatre production opened on September 7.
West End Tickets
Andrew Lloyd Webber has reclaimed the top spot in The London theatre Stage 100 - our annual list of the 100 most influential people in theatre. However, he has been forced to share first place with last year's winner David Ian, who co-produced Wicked west end rival, The Sound of Music with Lloyd Webber and appeared alongside him on reality TV series How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria? Next year, the pair will go their separate ways and star in rival London theatre TV shows on BBC and ITV. Lloyd Webber will be involved with the BBC's Any Dream Will Do - to find a star forJoseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat - while Ian will feature on ITV show You're the One That I Want! to find the leads for a theatre production of Grease.
If the sound of music is anything to go by, we could be looking at record breaking london theatre tickets sales this time next year as both musicals hit the west end. The West End theatres saw a number of musicals of which the finest was probably Michael Grandage's revival of Rice and Lloyd Webber's very best workWest End Listings Evita, starring Argentinian sensation Elena Roger. Subjectively very close behind is The Sound of Music in which lead Connie Fisher got all of the public attention thanks to her unusual selection - by a TV audience rather than Just Lloyd-Webber - but this should take nothing away from Charming Lesley Garrett and all those sweet little von-trapp children.
Monty Python fans have been wetting themselves over the prospect of the London theatre version of Spamalot, and they will not be disappointed, assuming that they can get theatre tickets. It could be even better with the arrival of Simon Russell Beale to take over the crown of King Arthur in the New Year. The other big success is Wicked, the Wizard of Oz prequel starring the delightful Idina Menzel and Helen Dallimore. This garnered some rather sniffy reviews but has silenced it's critics in terms of tickets sales.
Sir Trevor Nunn's Porgy and Bess pleased most audiences, although it might be a mistake to see the DVD of his opera production from twenty years before watching the London musicals. The most sought theatre tickets in town are forDirty Dancing, a very accurate reproduction of the famous film on stage.
