Daniel Stoddart Producer A MESSAGE FROM THE PRODUCER There’s something timeless about the music of ABBA. These songs have been part of the soundtrack of our lives for decades... joyful, uplifting, and always reminding us of the power of music to connect us. Mamma Mia! takes that music and weaves it into a heart-warming story about family, identity, love, and belonging. In a world that can often feel uncertain, I believe we need this show right now. It is a celebration of joy, togetherness, and finding home in the people we love. We are delighted to bring Mamma Mia! to the Civic Theatre Newcastle in a fresh and exciting way... one that will get you in the mood for summer and invite you to join the biggest party in town. This production is as much about community as it is about performance, bringing together artists, technicians, and audiences to share in something larger than all of us. This show has been brought to life by a dedicated and gifted creative team, led by Erin James, Dan Wilson, and Rachel Stark, alongside our entire crew who have poured their vision and artistry into every detail. I am equally grateful to our fantastic cast, who have given their energy, love, and talents to transport you to a sun-drenched Greek island where anything feels possible. Their commitment reminds me why live theatre is so extraordinary: it only exists when we come together, here and now. I am especially proud that this is the first production of its scale in Newcastle’s history where every cast member is being paid for their work. To lead the way as the city’s only professional theatre company is both humbling and inspiring, and we hope it sets an example for the next generation of creative artists and performers. We raise the bar because our audiences deserve nothing less. Thank you for being part of this celebration. Now... Here’s to dancing and jiving and having the time of our lives!
