MAMMA MIA! to Play MPAC, 4/16

A mother, a daughter, 3 possible dads and a trip down the aisle you'll never forget! The fun-loving musical MAMMA MIA! comes to Mayo Performing Arts Center on Friday, April 15 at 8 pm and Saturday, April 16 at 2pm and 8 pm. Tickets are $49 - $89.

Writer Catherine Johnson's sunny, funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings 3 men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago. 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.
