A look behind Mamma Mia at La Mirada Theatre

Get swept away by the infectious music, funny story, and dazzling dances

La Mirada Theatre for the Performing Arts and McCoy Rigby Entertainment welcomes you to the second production of their 2021-2022 season “Mamma Mia!”. Take a look behind the scenes of this sunshine-filled show that redefined the concept of the jukebox musical. Get swept away by the infectious music, funny story, and dazzling dance numbers that have made Mamma Mia! a worldwide phenomenon. The show will run from Friday, October 29th through Sunday, November 21st.

Originally the brainchild of British producer Judy Cramer and playwright Catherine Johnson, the two were inspired to use the band Abba’s hits in a theatrical setting after meeting with two of the band’s founding members, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.

On the eve of her wedding on an idyllic Greek island, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings back 3 men from her mother’s past.  Featuring over 20 ABBA songs, including the hits “Dancing Queen” and “Take a Chance on Me,” this high-spirited, feel-good sensation will have you singing and dancing in the aisles! Recommended for ages 13 and up. Post-Show Discussions with the cast will be Thursdays, November 4th and November 18th.

The Cast for Mamma Mia! features Marie-France Arcilla as Donna Sheridan, Eric Kunze as Sam Carmichael, Gabriela Carrillo as Sophie Sheridan, Taubert Nadalini as Sky, Danny Bernardo as Harry Bright, Michael Cavinder as Bill Austin, Emily King Brown as Tanya, Candi Milo as Rosie, Joi D.
