MAMMA MIA! at the Marriott Lincolnshire Theatre<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It was as if someone told the Marriott, \u201cIt\u2019s February \u2013 turn up the heat,\u201d and boy did they ever! One of Broadway\u2019s longest-running hits, MAMMA MIA! is so hot, they\u2019ve extended it through April 16.<\/p>\n

The musical tells the story of the independent, carefree mother, Donna Sheridan, who\u2019s raised her spirited daughter, Sophie, alone on an idyllic Greek island. When Sophie decides to get married, she wants her father to walk her down the aisle \u2013 the\u00a0only problem is she has no idea who he is. She invites three men from her mother\u2019s past to the wedding in hopes of finding out.<\/p>\n

It’s 24 hours of non-stop fun and hilarity with ABBA\u2019s high energy music and dancing that pulls out all the stops. In between it all, Donna\u2019s best friends come back to share in the antics as old flames are rekindled and new love blooms \u2013 with a surprise ending that has the audience on their feet. Fusing explosive dance numbers with timeless songs, including \u201cDancing Queen,” \u201cS.O.S.,” \u201cMoney, Money, Money,” and \u201cTake a Chance on Me,\u201d MAMMA MIA! had the audience singing along to all the classic favorites in this feel-good story full of laughs, love, family and friendship.<\/p>\n

Danni Smith as \u201cDonna Sheridan\u201d is sensational. Her last outing in Marriott\u2019s Man of La Mancha<\/em> left the audience wanting more of her and it was fabulous to see her in a much broader role that befits her tremendous vocals. Meghan Murphy as the multi-divorcee Tanya smolders in her cougar-like role, and she can move! Tiffany Tatreau as Sophie Sheridan is adorable, with a voice that is both sweet and powerful.<\/p>\n

Directed by the non-stoppable Rachel Rockwell who said, \u201cThe show is a story of the enduring female relationships in our lives \u2013 mothers and daughters, women supporting each other. Paired with these songs that we all love, it brings such joy. It\u2019s a true love letter to that ABBA sound.”<\/p>\n

Scott Davis\u2019 set design is outstanding, maximizing the Marriott\u2019s in-the-round setting by using the walls to create the feel of the Greek Islands and a few surprises thrown in. And in traditional Marriott fashion, the bright, colorful costumes by Theresa Ham take on a role all their own.<\/p>\n

Performances are scheduled Wednesdays at 1pm and 8pm, Thursdays and Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 4:30pm and 8pm, Sundays at 1pm and 5pm, with select Thursday 1pm shows.
