Bangkok Community Theatre will bring the world’s ultimate feel-good musical Mamma Mia! to Bangkok, with six performances scheduled every Friday and Saturday at 7.30pm from Nov 7-15, plus a 2.30pm matinee on Saturday. The venue is St Andrew’s International School’s auditorium on Sukhumvit 107.
The global smash hit tells the story of bride-to-be Sophie (performed by Thanyathorn “Sea” Thaicharoen), who dreams of a perfect wedding on a sun-soaked Greek island; one that includes her father giving her away.
As she prepares to marry Sky (Parriyme), she secretly tries to uncover her father’s identity. After inviting three men from her mother Donna’s (Jessica Richter) past — Sam (Nicholas Irvine), Bill (Derek Chan) and Harry (Chris Knight) — the stage is set for a heart-warming and hilarious tale of love, laughter and friendship.
Donna’s lifelong best mates Tanya (Samantha Aria) and Rosie (Kate Prior) bring their trademark humour and support as the story unfolds to ABBA’s biggest hits including Dancing Queen, Super Trouper and, of course, Mamma Mia!.
Directed by Severin Herbert, with musical direction by Tony Newman and choreography by Alexandra Cooper, the BCT’s production promises an evening of high-energy music, dazzling dance and feel-good fun. It is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
Lasting around 2 hours and 35 minutes including a 15-minute interval, the show contains mild language, romantic scenes, suggestive content and flashing lights. It is recommended for ages five and above.
Tickets cost 1,200 baht (700 baht for children) and can be purchased from ticketmelon.com. Seating is unreserved and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
