Walnut
Street Theatre, located at 825 Walnut Street, is presenting the delightful
musical Mamma Mia! on its main stage through June 21, 2018. Whether you
have no experience with this show with over 20 of ABBA's greatest hits or you have seen it in many times, this production
is guaranteed to make you want to get out of your seat and dance. Unbelievably,
the appearances of three of the main actors are performed by understudies in
the beginning of the run. The result is dazzling. Lyn Philistine portrays
Donna Sheridan as if she were born to the role, singing and dancing her way
across the stage. Not far behind her are Tara Tagliaferro portraying Tanya and
Kimberly Mason portraying Ali. Laura Giknis is adorable in her portrayal of
Sophie Sheridan. She belts out song after song and flits across the stage with
the ease of a butterfly. No matter how many times you might have seen Mamma
Mia! (and I have seen it several times before) you will enjoy Walnut
Street’s new presentation. There is a large dancing ensemble with original choreography.
The dancers begin even as the overture starts. The men’s ensemble in swimwear and
snorkel equipment is clever into the depths of the ocean. Another unique twist
to this production is the use of choral backup off stage. Whether you are
enjoying a feast for your ears, or your eyes or your feet, you will certain
enjoy Mamma Mia! For more information or tickets, call 215-574-3550,
