East Aurora High School’s Musical Theatre Arts will be presenting the student-produced musical, Mamma Mia! at East Aurora High School. Mamma Mia! is the smash hit based on the movie from 2008 which contains world-famous songs from ABBA.

Mamma Mia! opens on the coast of Greece with Sophie sending wedding invitations to three men, one of whom is her father…but she doesn’t know which one. Her mother, Donna, has all but forgotten her past flings now that she runs a hotel in the islands. She’s busy preparing for Sophie’s wedding to Sky with the help of her old friends and bandmates, Rosie and Tanya. Once her past becomes her present with the arrival of Sam, Bill and Harry, Donna must confront love once again just as her daughter tries to learn the truth about her father.

It’s hard not to get up and dance when the music of ABBA fills the stage. It’s a “jukebox musical” that intertwines new and old songs making the perfect backdrop for the fun, complex plot about love and family. Please be aware that this show is intended for adults.
