As previously announced, after playing the role of Tanya for the past seven years, Judy McLane (Chess, Kiss of the Spider Woman) will assume the starring role of Donna Sheridan, the independent single mother whose carefree past catches up with her on the eve of her daughter's wedding, beginning June 4.
McLane will be joined by Felicia Finley (The Wedding Singer, The Life) and Lauren Cohn (The Drowsy Chaperone tour), who will star as Tanya and Rosie, respectively, Donna's best friends and former back-up band who reunite on a Greek island for the wedding of Donna's daughter, Sophie.
Also joining the cast are Broadway veterans Aaron Lazar (A Little Night Music, Les Misérables), Daniel Cooney (9 to 5, Bonnie & Clyde) and Graham Rowat (Guys and Dolls, The Blue Flower) in the roles of Sam Carmichael, Bill Austin and Harry Bright, respectively, the trio of men from Donna's past who are Sophie's three possible dads.
Christy Altomare and Zak Resnick will both make their Broadway debuts opposite each other as bride-to-be Sophie Sheridan and her fiancé Sky. Jacob Pinion will continue as Sky's sidekick Pepper with Halle Morse as Lisa, Traci Victoria as Ali and Andrew Chappelle as Eddie.
The musical was a hit in London, where it still plays, before arriving on Broadway. The production also spawned a hit film starring Oscar winner Meryl Streep.
