EMERSON, N.J.—Emerson Jr./Sr. High School invites you to its production of “Mamma Mia!,” with music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus.
The student performers and crew say, “The show is guaranteed to be one that will have you singing along and grooving in the aisles! Musical theater director Bill Ullman says, ‘Come see it and take a chance on us. You will have a super trooper time!’”
“Mamma Mia!” is a romantic comedy contrasting the dreams and aspirations of a 70s girl and a 90s girl. Through the storytelling magic of the songs of ABBA, we meet Donna—a feisty, independent single parent—and her 21 year old daughter Sophie, who wants romance, babies, and a big wedding. If only her father can give her away…
Emerson’s musical production, directed by Bill Ullman, Lisa Ullman, and Jeannette Thomas, choreographed by Lisa Ullman, is presented by arrangement with Music Theater International (MTI).
Shows are March 6 and 7 and 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m., with matinee performances Sunday, March 8 (free to senior citizens) and Saturday, March 14 at 2 p.m.
Adult tickets are $15, Emerson student tickets are $5 in advance and $10 at the door. Call Roseann DeFlora, High School Main Office, at (201) 262-4447 ext. 1302 during school hours.
