VW independent/submitted information

After 5,773 performances, Mamma Mia! ended its record-breaking 14-year Broadway run this past September. But one need not fret. The chance to relive the unforgettable experience as a “super trouper” is here and presented by US Bank at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center of Northwest Ohio in Van Wert this Tuesday and Wednesday, starting at 7:30 p.m. both nights.

More than 54 million people all around the world have fallen in love with the characters, the story, and the music that make Mamma Mia! the ultimate feel-good show. Writer Cathrine Johnson’s sunny, 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 and every night everyone’s having the time of their lives.

Critics have raved over the musical, based on the Swedish super-group’s songbook for years and still going strong. This is one Broadway show where singing along (and dancing in the aisles) is not only permitted, but encouraged!

Tickets for this rare opportunity to see Mamma Mia! on its North American tour are still available online at NPACVW.ORG or through the Box Office Monday through Friday, noon-4 p.m.

Supporting sponsors are Belna Petroleum Inc., Ciao! Medspa, and Brewed Expression, with media sponsors Mix 103.3, Dark Horse Productions, and WFFT Fox Local.

The Niswonger is located at 10700 Ohio 118 on the south edge of Van Wert.
