Young singers belt out ABBA

Sancta Maria College in Flat Bush is ready to raise the curtain on its high-energy staging of the popular musical Mamma Mia!

The senior school’s production features the much-loved music of Swedish supergroup ABBA.

It’s based on the fictional film of the same name, which tells the story of a young woman looking forward to her wedding.

She and her fiancé live on a Greek island where her mother runs a hotel.

The bride-to-be is unsure who her father is so she invites three men her mother used to know to the wedding in an effort to learn more about her life.

 Performances are at 7pm on May 9 and May 11-13 in the school’s auditorium at 319 Te Irirangi Drive.

 Doors open at 6.40pm. Purchase tickets from the school cashier during school hours and get in soon as there are limited numbers for each show. Tickets cost $16.50 for children aged under 18 years old, $23 for adults and $60 for a family of two adults and two children.
