SEEKING

Equity chorus singers for the touring production of MAMMA MIA! (see breakdown). All Stage Managerial positions are currently filled.

The songs of the pop group Abba provide the score for this romantic comedy that contrasts the dreams and desires of a young woman about to become a bride with those of her mother, a free spirit of the 70s who never married. Mamma Mia! takes place at a taverna on a Greek island. The cast should be quirky and offbeat; we are not seeking obvious musical theater performers. Actors who sing with a strong rock sound and move well work best in this show.

We are committed to inclusive and equitable casting for all roles in MAMMA MIA! and are actively seeking people of all races, cultural backgrounds, abilities, and gender identities to audition. The breakdown refers to the characters as they are written in the MAMMA MIA! script and are not meant to limit the actors we are looking to cast in the roles.

PREPARATION

Prepare 16-bars of a contemporary pop song. Please no musical theatre. Bring a hardcopy headshot and resume, and sheet music in the correct key. An accompanist will be provided.
