Mamma Mia! Starting At Nearby Seattle Musical Theatre

Seattle Musical Theatre, located at Magnuson Park, will be performing "Mamma Mia!" starting Friday through April 14. 


The information says:

Escape to a small imaginary Greek island this Spring and soak up the legendary music of ABBA. The iconic songs weave together the charming tale of what it means to be a family. Sophie, the bride-to-be, wants her real father to walk her down the aisle at her dream wedding, and takes matters into her own hands because her mother, Donna, won’t talk about her past. The little Greek island starts to feel crowded for Donna, but her BFFs Rosie and Tanya, as well as all three of Sophie’s possible fathers help redefine the ‘perfect family wedding.’  

The theater was awarded a substantial grant and together with funds raised from subscribers, to enable a complete rebuild of the aging stage, called the "Save the Stage project."

The Theatre has a 40 year history in this area with the past 13 years spent in Building 47 at Magnuson, using the original movie theater of the Sand Point Naval Air Station, in the historic building.

Seattle Musical Theatre, originally called the Civic Light Opera was first located at Jane Addams School theater, where the company performed for 25 seasons. In 2002, the company moved to the Shoreline Community Center, and then to Magnuson in 2004. In 2006, the Board of Directors changed the name to Seattle Musical Theatre (SMT).
