The songs of the pop group ABBA provide the score for this romantic comedy that contrasts the dreams and desires of a young woman about to become a bride with those of her mother, a free spirit of the 70s who never married. "Mamma Mia!" takes place at a taverna on a Greek island. The cast should be quirky and offbeat; we are not seeking obvious musical theater performers. ACTORS who sing and move work best in this show. ALL ARTISTS SHOULD HAVE A ROCK/POP SOUND AND BE ABLE TO MOVE WELL. Seeking NON-UNION performers only.

SEEKING:
[DAD UNDERSTUDY] (30's) Male with great pop voice and comedic skills who moves well to be in the ensemble and understudy the Dads (SAM, BILL, HARRY.) Ensemble role.
