The choice of Mamma Mia! as DTAG’s latest production reflects its ability to resonate universally with themes of love, family and self-discovery. 

The musical’s vibrant energy and nostalgic charm were key factors in selecting it, as they align perfectly with DTAG’s commitment to uniting the community through the arts.

The production features a stellar creative team and a cast that has been tirelessly rehearsing for months. 

Directed and choreographed by Saskia Turner, owner and principal of Bodies In Motion, the local cast includes Angela Whittaker as Donna Sheridan, Alina Polishuk as Sophie Sheridan, Andrea Cameron as Rosie Mulligan, Erica Mast as Tanya Cresham-Leigh, Dwayne McColm as Sam Carmichael, Rob Ottone as Bill Austin, Iain Ralston as Harry Bright and a host of others.

Supporting them is a vibrant ensemble, including Katie Shepherdson, who is also the alternate Donna Sheridan, and Katrina Muller, who is the alternate Rosie Mulligan.

“We are really excited to bring this fun production to our stage. Every year I am amazed at the amount of talent in our region and this show certainly is no different” said DTAG president Michael Kerr.

“This is my 10th year of producing musicals at the Clink and what a celebration Mamma Mia! brings to the theatre,” he said.

“I think the audiences will be dancing in the aisles by the end of the shows.”

Audiences can expect several standout moments during the show, including a dazzling performance of ‘Dancing Queen’, an emotionally powerful rendition of ‘The Winner Takes It All’, and an unforgettable wedding scene filled with both humour and heartfelt revelations.

Performances will take place at the Clink Theatre, with shows beginning tomorrow through to April 13.
