On a small Greek island, Sophie dreams of a perfect wedding — one which includes her father giving her away. The problem? Sophie doesn't know who he is! Her mother Donna, the former lead singer of the 1970s pop group Donna and the Dynamos, refuses to talk about the past, so Sophie decides to take matters into her own hands. Sneaking a peek in her mother's old diaries, she discovers three possible fathers: Sam, Bill, and Harry. She secretly invites all three to the wedding, convinced that she'll know her father when she sees him. But when all three turn up, it may not be as clear as she thought! Told through the legendary music of ABBA, Mamma Mia! has become a worldwide sensation that has audiences everywhere dancing.
Those auditioning are asked to prepare a song that shows their skills and range. The song should be in the same genre as the show. You will need to bring your own sheet music. Auditions will also consist of cold readings from the script. A prepared monologue is not needed. Wear comfortable clothing. Everyone will be asked to learn a dance routine that will be taught at auditions.
