1922

Mamma Mia! is in its 22nd year in London's West End at the Novello Theatre and has grossed over $2 billion at the box office.

1957

Judith Sarah Jarman Craymer (born 26 October 1957) is an English creator and producer of musical theatre who has also worked in the film, television and music industries.

She is the founder of Littlestar Services Ltd. Craymer worked on Mamma Mia!, which has been seen by more than 65 million people worldwide.

Ten years after the film adaptation grossed more than $600 million around the world, Craymer produced an all-new original movie musical based on the songs of ABBA, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Born in London in 1957, Judy Craymer graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1977.

She worked as a stage manager for the Haymarket Theatre in Leicester, the Old Vic Theatre, London, on the original production of Cats for Cameron Mackintosh and for the Really Useful Theatre Company.

1962

Craymer was nominated for the "Carl Foreman award for special achievement by a British director, writer or producer in their first feature film" at the 62nd British Academy Film Awards for the film version of Mamma Mia! She has been dubbed "the greatest showbiz impresario" of the first decade of the 21st century and has consequently been entered in Debrett's.

1982

In 1982 she became Tim Rice’s production assistant and went on to be executive producer for Chess.

1987

In 1987, Craymer moved into film and television production.

Her credits include White Mischief, starring Charles Dance and Greta Scacchi, and Neville's Island, starring Martin Clunes and Timothy Spall.

Craymer also produced various live comedy specials for Channel 4.

1999

In 1999, Craymer returned to her working partnership with Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.

She had been nurturing an idea for several years after working with them on Chess which was to become Mamma Mia! It took Craymer 10 years to persuade Andersson and Ulvaeus to give her the rights to the songs.

Craymer's inspiration for the musical was the song "The Winner Takes It All".

They were impressed by the team Craymer had gathered around her to create the show; Phyllida Lloyd (a "cerebral director blessed with a popular touch") and "highly savvy writer" Catherine Johnson.

In 1996 Craymer formed Littlestar Services Ltd with Andersson and Ulvaeus to produce Mamma Mia!, which opened at the Prince Edward Theatre in London's West End on 6 April 1999 and swiftly became a huge global success.

Mamma Mia! has become a global juggernaut since 1999, having now played in more than 40 countries in all six continents, and in 16 different languages.

It has set the record for premiering in more cities faster than any other musical in history.

The show has been nominated for numerous Olivier and Tony awards and was the first West End and Broadway musical to be performed in Chinese.

2005

This success naturally attracted the interest of Hollywood, and in 2005 and 2006 Craymer made a deal with Universal Pictures to make a film of Mamma Mia! Unusually for Hollywood, the project was helmed by the three women who created it, with Craymer, Phyllida Lloyd and Catherine Johnson reprising their roles as producer, director and writer on the film.

2012

More recently, Craymer also produced Viva Forever!, a musical based on the songs of the Spice Girls, which was written by Jennifer Saunders and opened at the Piccadilly Theatre in late 2012.

According to critics, the show failed to reach the levels of other work she was associated with, despite it generating over £4,000,000 in pre-opening ticket sales.

Ten years after the film Mamma Mia! grossed more than $600 million around the world, Craymer produced an all-new original movie, extending her initial concept.

A meeting with Richard Curtis provided the idea of a prequel/sequel which led to Ol Parker writing and directing Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, reuniting the original cast of Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgård, Julie Walters, Dominic Cooper, Amanda Seyfried and Christine Baranski to reprise their roles.

They were joined by Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies, Hugh Skinner, Josh Dylan, Jeremy Irvine plus Andy García and Cher joined the Mamma Mia! family.
