Mamma Mia!
Merrill Lynch Wealth Management presents Mamma Mia!
ABBA's hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.
The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. It's a mother, a daughter, three possible dads, and a trip down the aisle you'll never forget!

Reviews
“You know the music, and you likely know the musical. But you've likely NEVER seen THIS Mamma Mia.” – KOMO TV
As staged by Bainbridge Performing Arts, ‘Mamma Mia!’ is about as giddy a good time as you could imagine a jukebox full of ABBA songs could be… All those infectious pop ditties and lip-quivering ballads are the platform on which Catherine Johnson builds a real story… ‘Mamma Mia!’ seems to shift gears from being a ‘jukebox’ musical to a bona fide, Broadway-worthy musical.” – Michael C. Moore, Kitsap Sun
“A fab-fab-fabulous night of theater…from the opening moments of the play these performers rocked the night…get your tickets today! Don’t tarry, because the Greek Isles are calling, Chiquitita, and this show cannot wait for you to linger and delay!” – Kim Hastings, Drama in the Hood
"We just saw what may be the best musical Bainbridge Performing Arts has ever produced…totally engaging, high energy production… You've got to see this or you'll regret having missed it when your friends rave about it.” - BPA Patron
