Mamma Mia, here we go again – Rockhampton Regional Council has just announced that it will remount its 2020 musical Mamma Mia next year.

The season was cut short due to the COVID 19 pandemic in March, and since then demand has been growing to remount the production.

The show will feature your favourite company members from this year’s production.

Rockhampton Regional Council Community Services portfolio spokesperson Cr Drew Wickerson said that Mamma Mia was already the highest selling Council produced musical to date, before COVID 19 intervened.

“It was a blow to the performers and crew, as well as to audience members when COVID 19 forced the cancellation of the second week of the season back in March,” he said.

“Audience members who missed out were disappointed and many of those who saw it were hoping to see it again. But that wasn’t to be.

“So due to overwhelming public demand Council will produce the show again in March 2021,” he said.

Cr Wickerson said that rehearsals would be undertaken with additional precautions to keep company members COVID safe.

“The theatre operates under an industry COVID Safe Plan, so our hope is that we can enable as many people as possible to see the show safely in March next year," he said.

Tickets will go on sale closer to the event date than usual, to enable the venue to comply with any changing COVID regulations, with a minimum of inconvenience to ticket buyers.
