The songs of the pop group ABBA provide the score for this romantic comedy that contrasts the dreams and desires of a young woman about to become a bride with those of her mother, a free spirit of the 70's who never married. It takes place at a tavern on a Greek island.
The cast should be quirky and offbeat. Seeking young (early 20's) and vibrant performers. Not seeking obvious Musical Theatre Performers. Actors who sing and move work best in this show. The ensemble is comprised of contemporary dancers and singers. Some ensemble men have dance specialties for which any acrobatics are a plus. Some ensemble men and women are featured as singers and actors.
Personnel: Robert McQueen-Associate Director; Janet Rothermel-Dance Captain;
Martha Banta-Associate Director; David Holcenberg-Music Director; Tom Capps-Production Supervisor; Kristin McTigue-Casting Associate.
