PATRIOT BAND MEMBERS WILL SEE MAMMA MIA! AT THE WINTER GARDEN THEATRE WHEN IN NEW YORK.
A mother. A daughter. 3 possible dads.
And a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!
I took my family to see this musical when it was in Indy several years ago and we took my 75 year old mother with us. Needless to say, we all loved the show, including my mom! The plot is pretty thin - the daughter is getting married and wants her real dad to give her away. The twist is - mom is not sure who the real dad is!(not exactly a lesson in morality) But they all live happily ever after while singing 22 songs from the 1970s rock group ABBA! ABBA, comprised of 2 females and 2 males, is a Swedish rock group. The name "ABBA" is the named of a Swedish canned fish company and also an acronym for the first names of the 4 singers in the group. Mamma Mia opened in London in 1999 and on Broadway 2 years later. After almost 5 years on Broadway the show continues to be a popular ticket in NYC.
THE CAST OF "MAMMA MIA" ENJOYS AN ENCORE!
Mamma Mia is currently running in the Winter Garden Theatre on Broadway. The Winter Garden is best known as the theatre that CATS played in during it's record run on Broadway from 1982 to 2000! Historically, the Winter Garden Theatre was first a horse sale barn back when Times Square was known as Longacre Square. The barn was remodeled for theatre use by Herbert Krapp (nice last name) in 1910-1911. Over the years, the Winter Garden has been home to the "Ziegfield Follies", "Mame", "Gypsy", "Funny Girl", "Once Upon a Mattress", and Leonard Bernstein's "Wonderful Town" and "West Side Story".
