NEW YORK, Sept. 20 (UPI) -- A sing-along screening of the film "Mamma Mia!" is being planned to celebrate the 10 years the stage musical on which it is based has spent on Broadway.

The special showing of the 2008 blockbuster movie, starring Meryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, is to take place Tuesday night at Manhattan's Ziegfeld Theatre.

"'Mamma Mia!' fans will have the chance to join the celebration and sing along to their favorite ABBA hits at this exclusive screening, receive special commemorative merchandise, and enter for a chance to win tickets to the Broadway 10th anniversary performance and party on Oct. 18," representatives for the show said in a news release.

"Mamma Mia!" opened at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre Oct. 18, 2001. Various productions of the show staged around the world have been seen by more than 50 million people. The feature film adaptation of "Mamma Mia!," produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman, is the most successful movie musical of all time, grossing $600 million worldwide.
