Photo Flash: The Dancing Queens are Out in WBT's MAMMA MIA

Inspired by the storytelling magic of ABBA's songs from "Dancing Queen" and "S.O.S." to "Money, Money, Money" and "Take a Chance on Me," Mamma Mia, is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found. Following the production's epic 14-year run on Broadway. Mamma Mia! is on the WBT stage March 23 through June 25, 2017.

Mamma Mia! tells the story of Donna Sheridan, an independent, single mother who is about to give away Sophie, the spirited daughter she's raised alone on an idyllic Greek island. For Sophie's wedding, Donna has invited her two best girlfriends to celebrate the occasion, but Sophie has secretly invited guests of her own - three men from Donna's past ... in the hopes that one of them will be the father she's never known. Over 24 chaotic hours, new love blooms and old romances are rekindled on this lush island full of possibilities.

Mamma Mia! is one of the most successful musicals of all time, the eighth longest-running show in Broadway history. The West End production is now in its eighteenth year. To date the show has been seen by over 60 million people worldwide in 50 productions in 16 different languages.

Donna's best girlfriends from her one-time backing band, Donna and the Dynamos, are Elise Kinnon as wealthy, multi-divorcee, Tanya and Jennifer Swiderski as the practical and no-nonsense feminist, Rosie

The trio of middle-aged potential dads are Xander Chauncey as Sam Carmichael, the New York City architect who has always held on to his torch for Donna. Brent Bateman as the devoutly single writer and adventurer Bill Austin, and Kilty Reidy is the wealthy British financier Harry Bright.
