About MAMMA MIA!
On the eve of her wedding, a daughter’s quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother’s past back to the island they had last visited decades ago. ABBA’s greatest hits, including “Dancing Queen,” “The Winner Takes It All,” “Money, Money, Money,” and “Take a Chance on Me,” are all featured in this feel-good celebration of love, family and friendship.

CASTING BREAKDOWNS
All roles are open ethnicity unless otherwise stated.
We are able to cast a company of 22 actors (including swings). Most ensemble roles will double in some fashion.
Donna Sheridan – Female, 40+ Vocal range: A5-E3
The owner of the Taverna on the Greek island of Kalokairi. Sophie’s mother. Honest and hard-working. Please note this character has scenes that include onstage intimacy such as kissing and embracing. Intimacy guidelines will be honoured in the creation of these scenes.
Sophie Sheridan – Female, 20+ Vocal range: E5 -F#3
Donna’s headstrong daughter, Sophie is determined to have what her mother never had: a traditional family and a father to walk her down the aisle. Young, bright and energetic, she has lived all her life on the island and is ready to leave.
Sam Carmichael – Male, 40+, Vocal range: Ab4-D3
One of Sophie’s potential fathers and a wealthy architect. Sam has regretted leaving Donna all his life and now finds himself divorced and back in her presence. He is straight-laced, confident and composed. At times he is perhaps a little over-bearing, but he is determined not to mess up the second chance he has been given.
Harry Bright – Male, 40 +, Vocal range: F#4-C#3
One of Sophie’s potential fathers and a respected London banker. Once a headbanging, partying musician who went down the straight road. He is quirky, in the closet and something of a romantic nostalgist. A nice guy, determined to make up for some past regrets.
Bill Austin – Male, 40+, Vocal range: F#4-Bb2
One of Sophie’s potential fathers, a wellknown travel writer, Bill has visited the far reaches of the earth, but never found what he’s really looking for. A real character, Bill has generally avoided the complexities of a relationship and now wonders if it’s too late.
Sky- Male, 20+, Vocal range: D5-Eb3
Sophie’s fiancé. A former stockbroker who moved to the island in a young version of a mid-life crisis. He is slightly older than Sophie, but smitten by her charm. Perhaps he is too eager to please and has not quite found all the answers he had hoped for on the island.
Tanya- Female, 40+, Vocal range: E5-E3
One of Donna’s oldest and best friends, Tanya has married several millionaires. Wild, funloving and a big character, she flirts mercilessly with young men, happy to play, but not to stick around.
Rosie – Female, 40+, Vocal range: D5-E3
Donna’s friend, a former member of the Dynamos; unmarried, free-spirited and a renowned author of cookbooks. A character who has developed a confident, funny and self-deprecating exterior which masks her inner vulnerability.
Lisa- Female 20+, Vocal range: Db5-G3
Sophie’s friend who has traveled to the island for the wedding. A supporting double-act (with Ali) of bubbly, bridesmaidy excitement.
Pepper– Male, 20+, Vocal range: F5-A4
A flirty waiter at the Taverna featured through his brief relationship with Tanya. Energetic and fun-loving, makes a great double-act with Eddie.
Eddie – Male, 20+, Vocal range: F5-A4
A waiter, boatman and handyman at the Taverna. Other half of double-act with Pepper.
Ali – Female, 20+, Vocal range: D5-G3
Sophie’s friend who has traveled to the island for the wedding. A supporting double-act (with Lisa) of bubbly, bridesmaidy excitement.
