A Burnaby performer is part of the fun as the Arts Club Theatre Company stages Mamma Mia! – running until Aug. 12 at the Stanley Theatre.
Valerie Easton, known locally as the artistic director of Royal City Musical Theatre, is at the helm for the ABBA-inspired musical. She's directing a cast that includes Burnaby performer Oliver Castillo as Eddie.
Michelle Bardach stars as Sophie and Stephanie Roth as her mother Donna, with Warren Kimmel as Bill, Jay Hindle as Harry and Michael Torontow as Sam. Stuart Barkley – recently seen starring in the Align Entertainment production of Legally Blonde right here in Burnaby - appears as Sky.
Mamma Mia! is getting set to be the longest-running Arts Club production at the Stanley Theatre, with a 15-week run. And - ABBA fans, please try to contain your giddiness - it will also be the first Arts Club production to feature sing-along performances, set for Saturday, July 28 at 2 and 8 p.m.
"This show is absolutely a ton of fun - it's like reading a great summer book that you want to read over and over again," Easton said in a press release.
Performances are Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., Wednesdays at 1:30 P.M. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets start at $29. Buy through www.artsclub.com or 604-687-1644.
