1) The hit movie and play Mamma Mia! is a beautiful mashup: a story set in Greece with a Swedish dance pop score. This jukebox musical prominently features ABBA songs and follows a young bride, Sophie, on the eve of her wedding. Her mother had romantic relationships with three men, any of whom could be Sophie’s father. Sophie secretly invites all three to her wedding, unbeknownst to her mom, to try and figure out which one is her dad. The men haven’t been back there for 20 years. She wants her real father to walk her down the aisle. (Too bad tabloid TV show host Maury Povich wasn’t invited to the wedding as he could have given a paternity test and figured everything out.) Mamma Mia! is a comedy that involves family drama, laughs, fantastic dance numbers, and of course, hit pop songs. Ending a 14-year Broadway run in 2015, Mamma Mia!, with book by Catherine Johnson and music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, is the eighth longest-running show in Broadway history. 8 p.m. Continues through August 6. Pittsburgh CLO, Benedum Center, 237 7th St., Cultural District. (RH)
2) The Pirates are in action today against the Cincinnati Reds in a 7:05 p.m. game at PNC Park. In the 1970s Cicncy was known as The Big Red Machine and the Pirates as The Pittsburgh Lumber Company. It made for a fun rivalry. It would be fun today if the Pirates beat the Reds. 115 Federal St., North Shore.
