Mamma Mia, here we go again

-

The next exciting installmen­t in Together Again on &SCENE online streaming platform is Mamma Mia! Together Again on Saturday at 6pm to celebrate the 10th anniversar­y of the SA premiere of Mamma Mia!

Together Again is fast becoming the most talkedabou­t weekly highlight. This week’s focus on Mamma Mia! is inspired by the storytelli­ng magic of Abba’s timeless songs, composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus.

Writer Catherine Johnson’s enchanting tale of family and friendship unfolds on a Greek island paradise.

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 last visited 20 years ago.

Mamma Mia! opened on London’s West End 21 years ago and took the world by storm, playing to packed houses ever since.

The hit show opened in South Africa in 2010, to a fabulous response and on Saturday, members of the internatio­nal and local creative teams, as well as cast members, will reunite for one very special night to celebrate the 10th anniversar­y of the SA premiere.

Get ready for a fun night of laughs, stories, nostalgia and those unforgetta­ble Abba songs, while raising much-needed funds for The Theatre Benevolent Fund.

Joining host Natasha van der Merwe in the virtual studio will be, live from London, Nick Grace (internatio­nal producer), Steven Paling (director), Carlton Edwards (music supervisor) and from Madrid, Sonia Dorado (choreograp­her).

Adding their voice to the chats will be local producers Attie van Wyk, Hazel Feldman and Rowan Bakker. – Citizen reporter
