Mamma Mia! at the Aurora Theatre
By Josh Jackson | March 13, 2018 | 2:50pm
I didn’t really know what to expect from my first visit to the Aurora Theatre in Lawrenceville, Ga., so I was pleasantly surprised by both the venue and the level of talent shown in its production of Catherine Johnson’s clever jukebox musical Mamma Mia!.
Based on the songs of Swedish pop group Abba, the play never feels like the story was forced to fit the songs. But it’s the hits from Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, more than the storytelling of a girl trying to find out the identity of her father, that made it the ninth longest-running show in Broadway History (it finally closed in 2015 after a 14-year-run).
Key to Aurora’s production was the performance of Kristin Markiton as Donna Sheridan, the single mother and hotelier on a remote Greek island, whose 20-year-old daughter is engaged to be married. Markiton has both the charisma to charm the three possible fathers of the bride and the voice to carry hits like “Mamma Mia,” “One of Us” and “The Winner Takes It All.” After hearing her sing, it’s no surprise to learn that the Atlanta theater veteran also has a pair of solo albums out, including a debut produced by Sugarland’s Kristian Bush. (Coincidentally, Bush’s bandmate Jennifer Nettles played the Donna role during the show’s short 2017 run at the Hollywood Bowl.
Markiton is buoyed by Donna’s two former bandmates, Rosie (Marcie Millard) and Tanya (Terry Henry), both of whom are gifted with comedic timing and singing chops. Among Donna’s three former lovers, the stand out is Greg Frey, who plays Harry Bright, the British banker formerly known as Head Banger in his wilder, more spontaneous days.
Overall, the choreography, set design, vocal skill and, especially, the costuming all punch above the weight of a small regional theater, and the energy never wanes. Mamma Mia! continues its nearly sold-out run through April 22 at the Aurora Theatre before the production moves to the Ferst Center at Georgia Tech June 9 – 24.

BWW Review: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN Sings and Dances Up a Storm at Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre
Hailed as a a?oenear-perfect movie musical,a?? Singin' in the Rain is nonetheless a challenge for companies mounting a full-scale version of it a?oelive and onstage.a?? It's not just about making it rain onstage during the show's eponymous song and dance number, but more about capturing the magic of bringing movies to life without all the technical wizardry of a film studio at one's behest.

BWW Review: Spectacular Cast Gives Chaffin's Barn's NEWSIES A Fresh Appeal
For plenty of fast-paced action, along with some stellar performances by a fresh-faced cast of eager young theatrical triple threats and a coterie of Nashville stage favorites, one need look no further than Disney's Newsies, the latest onstage offering from Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre, the iconic Music City venue that's been entertaining audiences for more than half a century. In its way, The Barn (as it is affectionately known in these parts) and its laudable history ensure that its treatment of the popular musical theater title lend the show's historical basis more than a little gravitas in the making of a stage spectacle.

BWW Review: Gorgeous MAMMA MIA! Takes the Chaffin's Barn Stage in High-Flying Style
If not for the fact that she is already one on Broadway, it could be said that Rachel Potter's performance in Mamma Mia! - which opened last night at Nashville's historic Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre - was, without doubt or without danger of fulsome exaggeration a "starmaking turn." With a glorious voice and stage presence to spare, Potter's Sophie seized control of the opening night audience from the very first moment she stepped onto the stage, never relinquishing control for one second, even when sharing the stage with the redoubtable Martha Wilkinson, the undisputed queen of musical theatre in Music City.

Martha Wilkinson and Rachel Potter Star in Chaffin's Barn's MAMMA MIA!
Here's an oft-proven truism, if not a fact, about theater in Nashville: If Martha Wilkinson is the star of a particular show - any show, whether it's Noises Off, Chicago, Little Shop of Horrors, Sister Act (well, you get my drift) - you can rest assured that she will (A) play the role to the hilt, (B) knock your socks off with her timing and delivery and (C) you'll believe that, no matter how many times you've seen a show, any show, it was as if you were seeing it for the first time.

Bradley Moore Finds His Theater Home at Music City's Historic Chaffin's Barn
Bradley Moore has always had a lot of theatrical projects going on since he settled in Music City a few years back. But ever since Norma Luther became the owner of Nashville's iconic Chaffin's Barn Dinner Theatre in early 2017 - and he became assistant artistic director - he's only gotten busier. With this summer's first musical hit (Sister Act) to his credit, his resume is growing yet again with the Barn's production of the ABBA megamusical Mamma Mia, which opens next Thursday at the eponymous red barn on Highway 100 in West Nashville.

BWW Review: Gaslight's BASKERVILLE is A Yawn
Ken Ludwig created one of theater's best-loved and critically acclaimed farces with Lend Me A Tenor, then updated the book of one of musical theater's most revered Gershwin titles (Girl Crazy) with the long-running and equally beloved Crazy For You. Since those two mega-hits, however, he's been less successful (although, inarguably, he's kept busy churning out scripts and cashing royalty checks) and perhaps no new script has proved that point more than Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery.

The Friday 5: BASKERVILLE's Cantrell and Williams
Today, in a preview of what's to come on the Scottish moors (where mayhem and hijinks reportedly ensue), Brett Cantrell and Evan Taylor Williams take their places in The Friday 5 spotlight, giving us some insight into their theatrical lives and sharing why they think Baskerville is a perfect show for you. But, be forewarned: the altogether too-brief run is close to selling out, so securing your reservations for the rollicking mystery should be at the top of your "to-do" list.
