Theatre director Phyllida Lloyd will be directing her own Broadway musical Mamma Mia for the big screen, with Meryl Streep set to star.

Streep will play the rebellious single mother of a bride-to-be who never met her father. The daughter invites three likely paternal candidates to her wedding, and the ensuing conflict triggers the performance of 22 Abba hits including “Dancing Queen,” “Take a Chance on Me” and “The Winner Takes It All.”

The musical has grossed a massive $1.6 billion since it’s debut in 1999, with productions of the show taking place all over the globe.

It’s obvious this is going to be really popular and make a shit load of money. I really can’t stand musicals at the best of times, but a one filled with Abba tunes?

Please god, no!
