58 Mamma Mia! Trivia Questions & Answers

Answer: Rosie

In "Mamma Mia!" she sang a duet with Stellan Skarsgard or Bill at the end. She danced on the table for him! Ahhhhh love! Rosie is a person who likes to drink and lives in London, England.

Answer: Sophie

Sophie was a young girl who hoped to one day learn who her father was. She told a couple of her friends she planned on locating him. The idea she had in mind was inviting three men who could very well be her dad to attend her wedding, since it was tradition that the father gives his daughter away at her nuptials. Sophie was played by Amanda Seyfried, who portrayed Joni Stafford on the ABC soap opera, "All My Children", from 2002 to 2003.

Answer: tall, tough, tiny

Sophie and her friends are glad to see each other because of Sophie's wedding. As soon as they see each other, they say their chant.
The full chant is "We're Sophie, Ali, Lisa, we're the greatest, bestest mates. I'm tall! I'm tough! I'm tiny! And we're gonna rock this place!"
Donna, Rosie, and Tanya have a chant that they say when they see each other too. Their chant is "Dynamos, Dynamite, sleep all day, and boom all night!"

Answer: Even if you fail

"I have a dream, a song to sing, to help me cope with anything. If you see the wonder, of a fairy tale; you can take the future, even if you fail."

This song was written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, who were both former members of the Swedish musical group ABBA. This song was released as a single in December 1979.

In 1999, the Irish boy band Westlife covered this song in their album of the same name.

In "Mamma Mia! The Movie", this song was sung by Amanda Seyfried. It was featured both at the beginning (Sophie delivered the letters to her three possible fathers) and the end (Sophie and Sky sailed on the sea) of the movie.

Answer: Head Banger

After Donna has discovered that the dads are in her old goat house she tells them to get on Bill's boat and leave. Sophie finds them on the boat and swims to them. Once she is aboard she notices that Harry has taken her mother's guitar. Harry quickly points that he only borrowed the guitar, and that he was the one who gave it to her. He turns the guitar over and points out the initials DS, for Donna Sheridan, and HB for Head Banger. Sam and Bill who are standing nearby look at each other with a puzzled expression and mouth "Head Banger" together. This is when my favourite song, "Our Last Summer" begins.

Answer: a wedding

Never having been married herself, Donna had mixed emotions as she prepared for the wedding of her 20 year old daughter, Sophie. She had raised Sophie by herself, and while she wanted her to be happy, she felt that she was too young to be making such a commitment, and worried that she was doing it for the wrong reasons. She had her hands full with the regular wedding preparations, while welcoming her guests into the rather rustic hotel she ran, that was in need of serious repairs.
Donna was played by Meryl Streep and Sophie was played by Amanda Seyfried.

Answer: Take a Chance on Me

"Take a Chance" is a hilarious part of the movie! She sang this because she likes Bill (Stellan Skarsgard and wanted him to take a chance on her. In an interview she said they didn't practice it until the first time they filmed it and it was terrifying and she wished she were drunk when she filmed it! If you've seen the movie, then I would agree with her that it would be terrifying. Bill is one of the men that Donna was dating.

Answer: Sophie

Sophie rowed over to the mainland on the island where she lived in order to mail three wedding invitations. The recipients were three men that resided all over the world who she suspected might be her father. You can hear the tune titled "I Have a Dream" as she did all this.

Answer: Honey, Honey

"I Have a Dream" is the first song that is sung, but it is only sung by Sophie, and she doesn't sing the whole thing. The first full song is "Honey, Honey". When this song is being sung, Ali and Lisa learn that Sophie has three possible fathers, and she's sent them each and invitation to come to her wedding. The song is sung because Donna has slept with three different men -there has to have been a reason!

Answer: Missed

"Mamma mia, here I go again. My my, how can I resist you. Mamma mia, does it show again? My my, just how much I missed you?".

This song was released in 1975 in ABBA's third album, entitled "ABBA".

Miley Cyrus sang this song for her "Hannah Montana" audition tape.

Donna, who was played by Meryl Streep, sang this song in the movie.

Answer: Sky

Sky is actually Sophie's handsome husband to be. Sophie grows up not knowing who her dad is and when she finds her mother's diary she learns that there are three potential men that could possibly be her father. She invites each of them to her wedding in hopes of being able to spot him, and have her father give her away. Unfortunately her plan doesn't go well, because once she meets them, she has no clue which one could be her biological dad.

Answer: She read her mother's diary.

With her wedding approaching, Sophie was desperate to find out who her father was. She found her mother's old diary which spoke of romantic liaisons with three different men the summer before Sophie was born. Sophie sent wedding invitations to all three men, hoping that she would know which one was her father the minute she saw them. Of course no mention was made of how she managed to locate them to send them invitations!

Answer: Chiquitita

This is the FIRST song that the best friends sing to cheer up Donna after she finds out that all of Sophie's dads are at the island.

Answer: Villa owner

Early in the film, Donna went to meet two of her friends, Rosie and Tanya, as they came to the island where she lived, via a boat. When they got into her car to go back to her home, Tanya mentioned how Rosie had written a bestseller book. We then found out that Donna's job involved both managing and owning the villa on the island.

Answer: toilet and chair

Donna says, "If the toilet doesn't flush right away, just go, and come back, and it should clear."
In the song "Money, Money, Money" Donna tells Rosie not to sit on the chair because it's broken.
There are other things that are broken at the hotel too, like the crack in the courtyard. Villa Donna is falling apart!

Answer: Seventeen

"You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only seventeen. Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine, oh yeah."

Released in 1976, this song was a smash hit in the 70s.

Both A*Teens and S Club 7 had also covered this song in their albums.

This song was also featured in a scene in "Miss Congeniality", where Gracie Hart (played by Sandra Bullock) was learning the dance choreography from her instructor, in preparation for the beauty pageant contest.

In "Mamma Mia! The Movie", this song was sung by Donna (Meryl Streep), Tanya (Christine Baranski) and Rosie (Julie Walters). Former ABBA member, Benny Andersson was seen playing the piano in one of the scenes when the trio performed the song.

Answer: Writer

As Tanya and Rosie are coming over on the boat, in the beginning of the movie, we learn that Rosie has just written a cookbook, which she happily autographs for a local villager. Donna is the owner of Villa Donna, Harry is a banker and it is Sam who has a career in architecture. Rosie is one of Donna's best friends, and backup singer for Donna and the Dynamos.

Answer: on Bill's sailboat

Sam Carmichael and Harry Bright were seen arriving at the dock too late to catch the ferry. Sam interpreted the Greek writing on the sign that informed them that the next ferry wouldn't be until Monday. Bill called out to them from his sailboat, offering them passage to the island where he was also going. They were all surprised to find that they had received invitations to the same wedding.
Sam was played by Pierce Brosnan, Harry by Colin Firth and Bill was played by Stellan Skarsgard.

Answer: Does Your Mother Know

She sings this one to Pepper cause Tanya is too old for him so she sings that song to him on a beach. Pepper is a a young man living on the island, a friend of Sky's. Flirts constantly with Tanya, one of Donna's friends. Works as a bartender for the Villa Donna. Pepper is a desperate man looking for a woman.

Answer: She had no blood relation to Sophie.

Donna got back to her home with Rosie and Tanya and Sophie saw all three of the women. She screamed out "Auntie Rosie!" once she saw Rosie but the title was an honorary one, since Rosie shared no blood relation to Sophie. Rosie mentioned to Sophie how gorgeous she looked.

Answer: Donna and The Dynamos

At Sophie's bachelorette party, Donna, Tanya, and Rosie - Donna and the Dynamo - are introduced as the world's first girl power band, and they perform "Super Trouper". During the end credits they sing "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo".

Answer: Memories that remain

"I can still recall, our last summer, I still see it all. Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain, our last summer, memories that remain."

"Our Last Summer" was written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Parts of the lyrics for this song was inspired by Ulvaeus' romantic memory of when he visited Paris when he was a teenager. "We made our way along the river, and we sat down on the grass, by the Eiffel Tower." "Walks along the Seine, laughing in the rain, our last summer, memories that remain."

In the movie, this song was sung by Pierce Brosnan (Sam Carmichael), Colin Firth (Harry Bright), Stellan Skarsgad (Bill Anderson) and Amanda Seyfried (Sophie Sheridan). Colin revealed in one of his interviews that the producer did not audition him for the singing part when he was offered the role of Harry Bright for the movie.

Answer: Greece

Throughout the movie Rosie keeps mentioning how everything is "very Greek". Rosie is played by Julie Walters, who is probably more known for her role as Mrs. Weasley in the "Harry Potter" series.
Donna and Sam were together in Greece until he had to go back to his fiance in the States. Heartbroken, Donna decided to travel to Paris where she met Harry. From there he followed her back to Greece where she stayed and helped take care of Bill's Great-Aunt Sophia, whom she named her daughter after.

Answer: in the old goat house

Because she really didn't want her mother to know that they were there, Sophie took them on a circuitous route that ended up with them entering their large, shared room in the old goat house, through trap doors from underneath. Donna referred to the building that they were in as her old goat house at several different points to her girlfriends. This was after she heard something going on, stuck her head up through the trap door and was shocked to see the three men. When she finally confronted them (after falling through a window in the roof above their room), she asked them to leave. They left her hotel but not the area, bunking down in Bill's boat.

Answer: A bra and a fortune telling hat

She wore this to make Donna laugh when she was sad, 'cause this is the second song they sing to cheer her up. In an interview I saw with her in it she said she sprained her ankle while skipping down the streets in Greece, while filming it!
