A huge hit on Broadway, Mamma Mia!, featuring the songs of super group ABBA, played to Broadway audiences for 14 years and over 5,700 performances.
The production is directed by Nick DiLeo, who is celebrating his 20th anniversary as Drama Club advisor. Joining him are Donna Nestor as producer, Beth Maisonet as choreographer, and Chris Persad and Noreen Hanson as musical directors.
The cast for this production is composed of over 60 students with an additional 20 working on stage crew.
The sunny and funny musical set on a Greek island paradise tells the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. The musical features ABBA hits including Dancing Queen, Chiquitita, Super Trouper, and Mamma Mia, among many others.
