Another show announced for Mamma Mia!

Rockhampton Regional Council has announced ANOTHER additional performance for its upcoming musical, Mamma Mia!, bringing the total number of performances to seven.

Tickets are now on sale for a matinee performance on Saturday 14 March at 1.30pm.

Directed by Joy Philippi, Mamma Mia! is inspired by the story telling music of ABBA’s timeless songs. It has been a worldwide hit and Rockhampton theatregoers will get the chance to experience it live on stage at the Pilbeam Theatre from 13 March.

Mamma Mia! features all local cast, orchestra, creative and production teams.

Chair of Rockhampton Regional Council’s Community Services Committee, Cr Rose Swadling, said that the strong demand for tickets was testimony not only to the worldwide appeal of ABBA’s music but also to the quality of Council-produced musicals.

“We have many talented local performers here in Central Queensland and Rockhampton Regional Council has been very pleased to have been able to offer them opportunities over many years to be involved in bigger and better musicals.

“Theatregoers know that they are assured of a great show when they come to see a Council produced musical,” she said.
