Best-selling show this month comes to TPAC
Tickets are now on sale for the infectious and funning production featuring 22 of ABBA’s best known songs. Prices range from $21.50 to $65 depending on performance time and seat location, and are subject to applicable handling fees.
“Mamma Mia! is the best-selling show in the world this month, selling up to $1 million in tickets a week – sometimes more – on Broadway, in Toronto and on national tour, while the London production continues to sell out in its fourth year on West End,” said Steven Greil, TPAC’s president and chief executive officer. “Think Les Miserables, The Producers or The Phantom of the Opera. The newest megahit in musical theatre is Mamma Mia! and that’s exactly why TPAC wanted Nashville to be one of the first cities on the national tour. All of us who have seen the show agree that it’s pure entertainment, great fun or audiences of all ages.”
The musical, essentially about true love, explores the fabric of family in the relationship between a mother and her soon-to-be wed daughter. The story recalls memories of carefree days and careless nights while daughter Sophie dreams of tradition, romance and a big white wedding. The audience is transformed to a tiny mythical Greek island to share two unforgettable days in the lives of our heroines surrounded by crystal blue seas beneath a beating Grecian sun.
Mamma Mia! begins on a Wednesday evening, rather than the customary Tuesday opening night. Performances in Andrew Jackson Hall from March 13 through 23 are 8 p.m.; 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; and 7:30 p.m. Sunday. A 1 p.m. matinee will be presented March 14. On March 24, the final day in Nashville, performance times are noon and 5 p.m.
Tickets may be purchased by calling Ticketmaster at 615-255-2787 or visit TPAC Box Office Downtown or Davis-Kidd Booksellers, the web site www.tpac.org, or any Ticketmaster outlet.
