Sophie: Hi, can I help you? Bill: Sure, were here for the wedding... Im Bill Anderson... Harry: Im Bright... Harry Bright... Sam: Sam Carmichael... (seeing Sophie looking at them strangely) You are expecting us...? Sophie: Oh my gosh, yes! Sam: Youre not... Donnas daughter...? (Sophie nods and smiles shyly) Bill: I thought you looked familiar! Harry: Erm... would you mind if we see our rooms before we see your mother...? Sophie: No! No... (Slightly panicked at first, but then gets a grip on herself) I mean... yes, sure... But come this way... (Notices them looking at her suspiciously) You see... I sent the invites... My mum doesnt know youre here... (the men all groan) Well shes done so much for me... And shes always talking about you guys and the good old days and I thought it would be an amazing surprise for her that youre all going to be at my wedding... Sam: Youre a little minx, you know that? Youre just like your mother... Sophie: Please, stay! Just promise me you wont tell anyone that I invited you! Promise? Bill: Promise, baby... Sam: You got it... Harry: Well, I might regret it, but okay... Sophie: OK, now follow me, and be quiet! (Sophie leads them off stage, just as Donna and the Dynamos are coming on, talking and laughing. At first they dont notice Sophie and the guys, then Rosie spots Bill, whos the last one down.) Rosie: Ooooh... Whos that? (Runs forward to see properly) Will he be at the wedding? Donna: Who? (goes near Rosie to see and gasps as she recognises them) Bill? Harry? Sam? (Mamma Mia starts) Donna: I was cheated by you and I think you know when. So I made up my mind, it must come to an end Look at me now, will I ever learn? I don't know how but I suddenly lose control There's a fire within my soul Just one look and I can hear a bell ring One more look and I forget everything Oh, oh I was angry and sad when I knew we were through I can't count all the times I have cried over you Look at me now will I ever learn? I don't know how but I suddenly lose control There's a fire within my soul.

Mamma mia, now I really know My, my, I should not have let you go (Donna starts crying uncontrollably, and The Dynamos go to see whats wrong) Tanya: Sweetie, whats wrong? Donna: Its Sophies dad! You remember when I always thought it was Sam, the architect, who ran off to get married? Well, Im not sure it was him... because there were two other guys around the same time... Tanya: (smiles at Donna mischeviously) Donna Sheridan, you shady lady...! Rosie: Why didnt you tell us? Donna: Well, how was I to know Id see them ever again... Let alone all three of them... at the same time... on the eve of my daughters wedding...! (looks as though shes about to start crying again) Tanya: (Runs back to the place where the men disappeared as if to make sure they were really there) Are you sure it was them? Donna: (Shouts almost hysterically)Of course Im sure! Do you think Id forget my own daughters dads?! (crying even more) What just if Sophie finds out? Oh, I was such a stupid, reckless idiot!

Scene 4 The Hen and Stag Parties

(Intro music of Voulez Vous in the background. The girls are on-stage laughing. The guyz are around the stage dancing. Voulez Vous starts and the guys crash the party. The dads and the Dynamos also join.)

Girls: People everywhere, a sense of expectation hanging' in the air Givin' out a spark, across the room your eyes are glowing' in the dark Boys: And here we go again, we know the start, we know the end Masters of the scene We've done it all before and now we're back to get some more You know what I mean All: Voulez-vous Take it now or leave it, now is all we get Nothing promised, no regrets Voulez-vous Ain't no big decision, you know what to do La question c'est voulez-vous Voulez-vous
(Everyone runs off stage, except for Sophie, whos more anxious than ever now that her Mum has seen her dads. Bill goes up to Sophie looking excited. Voulez Vous continues in the background.)

Bill: Sophie, do you know who youre named after? Sophie: (distractedly) Yeah, Sofia, an old lady who used to live on the island... Why? Bill: Exactly! My grandma, Sofia! Do you know what that means...? Sophie, Im your father! (Sophie looks at him in disbelief) Sophie: What? Oh my gosh! (smiles) You know what comes next...? Bill: Sophie, it will be my honour to give you away tomorrow! (They hug and Bill goes off to dance with Rosie. Sam suddenly runs up from the other side of the stage and pulls Sophie. Hes also looking very excited.) Sam: Sophie, I know why you brought me here! Why didnt Donna tell me? How long have you known that Im your father?!

Sophie: (looks at him in disbelief) What?! Not long at all! Sam, listen to me, my mum doesnt know that I know, so can this wait until after the wedding? Sam: Sure... By the way, whos giving you away tomorrow...? Sophie: (determinedly) Nobody! Sam: Wrong... I am! Our secret til then! (he runs off happily. Sophie starts panicking again, when Harry appears next to her.) Harry: Oh my gosh, Sophie, Ive just figured it out! Im your father! Thats why you sent me the invite! You wanted your old dad to walk you down the aisle! (Sophie starts trying to protest but hes too excited to notice) Well, I wont let you down! Ill be there! (Harry runs off stage laughing. Sophie continues panicking and Skye goes to see whats wrong.) Skye: Sophie, whats wrong?! (She faints in his arms. Donna, the Dynamos, the dads, Allie, Lisa and Tina run up to her while the rest of the crowd looks up at them.)

Scene 5 The Truth Revealed

Skye: Sophie, baby?! Lisa: Sophie, are you allright? Allie: Stand back everyone! Tina: Give her some air! Donna: (pushes the dads away) You...! Get away from her! All of you! This is all your fault! All of you arriving at the same time... And the day before her wedding! How could you be so selfish?!
(The dads look at each other akwardly)

Sam: What if I were to tell you that Sophie wants her dad at her wedding? Donna: What? Sam, dont do this to me now! I cant hear this now. Sam: Donna, listen to me... This is about us!
(while theyre arguing, Sophie has got up but no one has noticed.)

Sophie: Mum, listen... Its not Sams fault... Or Bills, or Harrys... I invited them here...I know I was stupid! I shouldve told you! Im so sorry Mum! Please forgive me! Donna: (Starts crying and turns away from Sophie) I dont know... Can you forgive me...? Sophie: What...? (Walks towards Donna in disbelief) Are you kidding? I dont care what you did when you were young! Youre my Mum... and I love you so much! (Sophie and Donna hug. Sam suddenly interjects.) Sam: Hold on a second... Am I getting this right..? Sophie may be mine, but she may be Bills or Harrys? Sophie: Yeah! And its your fault! If you hadnt just dumped my mother and married someone else...

Sam: (interrupts) Hey... Wait a minute! I was engaged! I had to go... But I told Lorraine I couldnt marry her and I came right back! Only to find you had some other guy! (Donna and Sophie gasp) Donna: You... You came... back? Sam: Yeah...(shrugs)...but that doesnt matter now...Im just glad that at least I am a third of Sophies dad
(Bill and Harry move towards Sophie and nod their heads in agreement)

Rosie: (to Tanya) Typical, isnt it...? You wait 20 years for a dad, then three come along at once... Sophie: You know... I have no clue which one of you is my dad... But I dont mind...! Now I know what I really want... (goes to Skye) Skye, lets just not get married yet! (Everyone gasps and looks around in bewilderment) You never wanted this anyway! I know that! Lets just get off this island and go see the world, okay? Skye: (pulling Sophie towards him) I love you! (they kiss and hug. Everyone cheers.) Tanya: Donna, does that mean that the wedding is cancelled? Donna: Im not sure, actually... Sam: Hang on... (goes towards Donna) Why waste a good wedding...? (Donna looks at him puzzled) (Take A Chance On Me starts) Sam: If you change your mind I'm the first in line Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me If you need me let me know Gonna be around If you've got no place to go When you're feeling down Donna: If you're all alone When the pretty birds have flown Honey, I'm still free Take a chance on me Gonna do my very best And it ain't no lie If you put me to the test If you let me try Sam & Donna: Take a chance on me Take a chance on me Sam: How about it, Donna? (goes up to Donna and puts his arms around) After all, youre gonna need someone to boss around on this island... Donna: (smiles and gives in to him) I guess I do! (sings ABBAs I Do a capella) I do, I do, I do, I do, I do! (laughs and kisses Sam) (ABBA Medley Intro starts. Everyone hugs and cheers,while congratulating Donna and Sam.)
