Esquimalt High students ready to hit the stage for Mamma Mia

After three years away due to the COVID-19 pandemic, musical theatre students at Esquimalt High are excited to welcome back a live audience into the theatre for the iconic production, Mamma Mia. Students are all set for opening night on Friday, May 6, 2022.

“We are so excited to be performing in front of an audience for the first time in what feels like ages, “ said Heidi Kebede, a grade 12 student and one of the leads in the show. “We’ve been rehearsing since September 2021 and are having lots of fun seeing everything come to life! The show is very energetic and we think families will have lots of fun too!”

The show explores themes of identity, family, and love through ABBA’s timeless music. Featuring over 40 students, a live band, and big dance numbers.

Curtains will rise on Friday with follow up performances on May 7, 8, 12, 13 and 14. Evening shows start at 7:00 p.m. May 8, 2022, is a matinée performance starting at 2:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 per adult and $10 per student and senior.

Tickets are available at: https://www.showtix4u.com/events/esquimalt

In support of audience members who may not be comfortable in a full theatre, the May 7 and 12, shows will be limited to 50% capacity to allow for social distancing. Out of respect for the comfort and safety of our cast, crew, and patrons, the school is strongly encouraging masks to be worn during the show.
