Mamma Mia! auditions begin Aug. 2

The WYO Performing Arts & Education Center will host auditions for the 2023 WYO Premiere of Mamma Mia! beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 2 and Wednesday, Aug. 3. 

According to the WYO, the Premiere Performance of Mamma Mia! will be presented at the WYO on Saturday, Oct. 14, with encore performances Oct. 15, and Oct. 19, through 22, 2023. Actors must be 18 years of age to participate.

The Premiere Event takes the place of the annual WYO Gala and will still feature local performers in a fantastic Broadway Musical. The Premiere performance will scale down the accompanying events throughout the evening and will instead highlight the excitement of opening night at the Theater complete with champagne.

The WYO said in a release that the staff is looking forward to welcoming a large cast for Broadway’s ultimate feel-good show, Mamma Mia!.  Mamma Mia! features a hit soundtrack by ABBA and tells the hilarious story of a young woman’s search for her birth father.
