Kentucky Performing Arts will present a Winter Gathering With Kathy Mattea on Thursday, December 19, 2024, at 8:00 p.m. at Bomhard Theater.

It’s been over 9 years since Mamma Mia played it’s final performance on Broadway. The show was a Broadway mainstay for nearly 15 years before closing in 2015, and no production since has truly been able to capture the pure joy of what makes the show so great. At the height of its success, it spawned a star studded and successful film adaptation; and post closure, a film sequel. After the show’s broadway closure, some non-equity tours did their best, but something felt off. I’m beyond overjoyed to report that the shows current iteration (billed as the 25th anniversary tour), is nothing short of delightful and miraculous merriment.

Voting is now open for the 2024 BroadwayWorld Louisville Awards! Nominations were reader-submitted and now our readers get to vote for their favorites.
