Back by popular demand –
the smash hit musical “Mamma Mia!”

CARMEL, CA – November 7, 2018, PacRep Theatre is excited to present the ABBAsolutely entertaining musical, nominated for five Tony Awards, Mamma Mia!. Brought back by popular demand from PacRep’s sold-out 2017 run, the smash hit musical runs November 15th thru December 23rd at the Golden Bough Playhouse in Carmel. Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found, and a trip down the aisle audiences will never forget.

Mamma Mia!, by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, is one of the most successful Broadway musicals of all time. Based on the hit songs of ABBA, the story follows an independent, single mother, Donna, who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island, as she is about to let go of Sophie, the spirited daughter she’s raised alone. Young Sophie is ready to get married to her fiancée Sky, except for one thing – she has never met her father and wants him present for the big day, so she invites the three “potential dads” that she discovers in her mother’s diary. As Sophie, Sky, Donna, her friends, and Sophie’s three potential fathers prepare for the big day, emotions run high and surprises abound. Interwoven through-out the action is the storytelling magic of ABBA’s songs, from “Honey, Honey” and “Dancing Queen”, to “Money, Money, Money”, “Voulez Vous”, “Take a Chance on Me”, “Thank You for the Music” and more.

With a cast of over 28 performers and musicians, PacRep’s production stars Equity performer Lydia Lyons as Donna, Cat Chiappa as Rosie, Jill Miller as Tanya, and Nicole Cofresi as Donna’s daughter Sophie. The production also features Joshua Reeves as Sophie’s fiancé Sky, and James Brady, Scott McQuiston, Stephen Poletti as Sophia’s three “potential Dads”. Featured in the 28-member ensemble are Aubree Hope Grider, Tara Lucido, Andrew MacDonald, Vincent Serrano and Tom Brocato. PacRep’s Mamma Mia! is Directed by Susanne Burns, with Vocal Direction by Michael Blackburn, and Jill Miller’s Choreography restaged by Devin Adler.
