Visiting Sophie’s intended, Sky (Ian Hawkins), are Sky’s fun-minded, booze-minded buddies. The solid players/good singers deal with a lot of churn suddenly thrust on their characters. The men don’t know each other and don’t know they could be a parental unit. Sophie and eventually Donna are visited by the three men – architecture-minded Sam Carmichael (Joe Kemp), hipster turned banker Harry Bright (John Matysik) and world adventurer Bill Austin (Jeffrey Werdin). Tanya’s “Take a Chance on Me” shows how musical theater can give added meaning to a song. Tanya and Rosie have side stories of their own as their characters look for love. When Donna is visited her friends Tanya and Rosie, the three light fire to “Dancing Queen.” And their “Super Trouper” near the end of the first act comes with costuming luster. The three get the hits going with “Honey, Honey.” Sophie is visited by two friends (Kimberly Burgert and Joey Kunde), who arrive in a wave of girlish giggles. Julie Walber’s climactic song is “The Winner Takes It All,” which is filled with Donna’s gumption, sureness and determination. The story is about liberties of various kinds. Julie Walber portrays Donna Sheridan, the single mother whose past as an entertainer included one-nighters. It was a sign that directors Maggie Patton and Mary Runde and their creative collaborators put this complex show together well. The show contains other double-entendre meanings, too.Īt Saturday night’s performance, enthusiasm was in the air for the songs, the dances, the costuming and the performances. From her mother’s diary, three secretive dot-dot-dots give her possibilities. Many of the songs in “Mamma Mia!” were popular in the 1970s and beyond before the show came to the stage.Īround a bunch of those hits a story is woven that’s a bit “out there” and a bit earthy: Twenty-one years after a summer of love on a Greek isle, a mother’s daughter aims to get married and invite the father she never met. (WFRV) – A leading candidate for the catchiest of all musicals feeds on the infectious rhythms of ABBA.įond du Lac Community Theatre is going at “Mamma Mia!” in a big way on the spacious stage of Fond du Lac Performing Arts Center.
