Inside Broadway to Team with Mamma Mia! for Free "Creating the Magic" Workshops

Inside Broadway is partnering with the Broadway production of Mamma Mia! to offer two free “Creating the Magic” workshops for New York City public school students at the Winter Garden Theatre, on Thursday, June 14 at 10:45am and 1:15pm.

Attendees will get a special behind the scenes look at the world of Broadway with members of the Mamma Mia! cast and crew (lighting, sound, stage management and orchestra) all taking part.

Mamma Mia! uses the songs of ABBA as it follows the story of a forty-something mother planning her daughter’s wedding — unaware that the girl has invited three men who might be her father. The show has music and lyrics by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, is written by Catherine Johnson, and directed by Phyllida Lloyd.

Production numbers that will be featured during both workshops are “I Have a Dream,” “Chiquitita,” “Dancing Queen,” “S.O.S.,” “Lay All Your Love,” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You.”

Inside Broadway and develops and produces touring equity musical productions as well as a wide range of educational programs that allow participants to interact with professionals in the field and experience theatre hands-on in the classroom.
