YMCA Theatre Institute Brings MAMMA MIA! To Foxboro

The Hockomock Area YMCA Theatre Institute will present the hit-musical, Mamma Mia! ABBA's hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father in this high energy jukebox musical.

The musical, performed by a cast of 25 local youth, will take place at the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center/Orpheum Theatre Foxboro on June 17th at 7 PM and June 18th at 1 and 7 PM. Tickets are $10 for students and $14 for adults (additional processing fees apply) and can be purchased at www.orpheum.org. Remaining tickets will also be available at the door for an extra $2 per ticket. All seating is reserved.

Students have been rehearsing together since April, working hard to learn the complex choreography and vocals that comes with this iconic musical. "This show has been a dream of mine for so long and bringing such a fun story from the screen to the stage is truly a unique experience," says Catherine Middelmann who plays Tanya. "It's been a lot of work and also a lot of fun. When you love ABBA and theatre, how could you not have the time of your life combining both!"

"Mamma Mia! is a magical summer show that dancing queens of ALL ages can truly jive along to," says Michaela Olah, who serves as one of the production's dance captains. Audiences will delight in hearing their favorite songs including "Dancing Queen", "Super Trouper", "Take a Chance on Me", and more!
