Stage set for Mamma Mia!
AUDITIONS are being called for the upcoming production of the beloved musical ‘Mamma Mia!’ which will take the stage this April.
Douglas Theatre Arts Group and Mamma Mia producer Michael Kerr said the show, based on the songs of ABBA, tells a heartwarming story of love, friendship, and family set on a picturesque Greek island.
“This vibrant production promises to be a delightful experience for both cast and audience alike,” he said.
“We are very excited to bring this wonderful musical to the Clink stage. With Bodies in Motion principal Saskia Turner taking on a director role along with choreography this is bound to be a sight to see. Jenn Kerr again joins us as musical director so we will have a show that is bound to succeed.
“Priscilla the Musical was an amazing success for the Clink Theatre, and I hope we can again see people dancing in the aisle and standing ovations for this music- filled production.”
Auditions will be held on October 6 at the theatre in Port Douglas. All performers are encouraged to register at the Clink Theatre’s website to participate and showcase their talents.
“We are seeking a diverse cast of characters, including leads, ensemble members, and dancers,” Mr Kerr said.
“Whether you’re a seasoned performer or a first-time auditionee, we welcome you to join us for this exciting opportunity,” he said.
“Rehearsals will begin in November and participants will be required to have availability to attend rehearsals.
“Performances are scheduled from March 27 to April 13, 2025. This is a fantastic opportunity to be a part of a lively and engaging production that will surely entertain audiences of all ages.”
Casting roles include:
Sophie Sheridan – a young woman preparing for her wedding and searching for her father
Donna Sheridan – Sophie’s free-spirited mother, who runs a small hotel on the island
Tanya and Rosie – Donna’s best friends, who add humour and heart to the story
Sam, Bill, and Harry – Potential fathers with ties to Donna’s past.
“In addition to strong acting abilities, we are looking for performers who can sing and dance. Registered applicants will be advised on what to prepare prior to audition day,” Mr Kerr said.
