Click here for more information on this production that runs through June 1
"Mamma Mia! is a buoyant and jubilant celebration of ABBA's greatest hits, and even though the plot may be thin and some of the songs feel a bit shoehorned into the story, the incredible national tour cast elevates the material with charm, humor, and powerhouse vocals. As the show celebrates its 25th anniversary, this new tour proves that Mamma Mia! still has what it takes to delight audiences, and the cast's infectious energy helps smooth over any narrative bumps. The production will appear on Broadway for a six-month run beginning August 2....Leading the cast as Donna is Christine Sherrill, whose raw emotional power and commanding stage presence anchor the show. Her rendition of "The Winner Takes It All" is a true showstopper, layered with vulnerability and strength, and her vocals on every song she sings have an earthy power and emotional connection, making her Donna one of the best I've seen. As Sophie, Amy Weaver possesses a crystal-clear voice and boundless energy which bring authenticity to the character's youthful curiosity and emotional journey. Victor Wallace delivers warmth and a playful ruggedness as Sam, one of the potential dads. His strong vocals throughout, especially on "Knowing Me, Knowing You," and realistic chemistry with Sherrill's Donna make Sam an incredibly endearing character." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
