MAMMA MIA! Will Embark on 25th Anniversary North American Tour — Page 2

Interesting, I thought Christine Sherrill was a phenomenal Donna when the tour came through Chicago last spring. I genuinely think she could be a dark horse for awards next spring; that’s if the show even opens itself up to eligibility. I’m mostly concerned how the tour set will look in the Winter Garden. Hopefully they enhance it.

Mamma Mia played for 14 years on broadway without a star as Donna. So, no the show doesn’t “definitely need a star.”

Is this just going to be the cheap tour set charging Broadway prices?

Sorry if this is stupid to ask but is the current West End version the original design? It’s the only version I’ve seen for this show

The character is 38-40.

Carolee is still on tour in Kimberly.

Anecdotally, just about every friend I have that's a "theater casual" has asked me for the past 3 years whether I thought Mamma Mia would be coming back to NYC anytime soon because they'd want to see it (and this is including a couple who saw it in the West End within the past 5 years!), so there's at least SOME demand. And assuming there are decent rush/lottery tickets, I wouldn't mind seeing it again, especially with all the praise for Christine Sherrill but I do hope the set/audio problems are fixed for Winter Garden.

And this is THEATRE.

Oh I hope this transfers and runs forever. Welcome back Mamma Mia!

Wow! Yes. I didn’t think of her as Donna but I’d be so excited.

I had heard this being thrown around recently. The current touring cast will transfer to NY, as the show's the star.

How interesting that Anderson and Ulvaeus will likely have CHESS and MAMMA MIA! on Broadway at the same time.

You're telling me Alisa Melendez will be back on Broadway in a full time leading role? She's absolutely incredible, that is so exciting! I hope this makes her a big star.
