It's been almost ten years since Meryl Streep-starring 'Mamma Mia' opened in the theaters wooing fans with breathtaking scenes of a Greek island, foot-tapping numbers and an absolutely riveting narrative about the mother-daughter duo, Donna (Streep) and Sophie (Amanda Seyfried).

Cut to 2018 and an equally promising sequel, 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again' is about to waltz into the theaters, with buzz about part 2 of the musical already getting fans all excited for some summer frolic. Joining the original cast in the Ol Parker directed 'Mamma Mia 2' is a mix of actors some new faces and some old ones including Cher, Lily James, Christine Baranski and Julie Walters.

As Sophie and her extended family revisit the Greek island of Kalokairi and along with that her mother's memories - a plethora of experiences will unfold, officially in the theaters this July 20.
