To mark the occasion, ten real brides-to-be were invited to a post-show meet-and-greet with the cast.
As part of the celebration, Mamma Mia!'s current Sophie, Brandi Burkhardt, threw a bouquet to the competing brides all vying to win a grand prize honeymoon trip to London. The lucky winner who nabbed the bouquet and the trip was Lauren Hopkins Sheridan.
Here is a look at the Saturday-afternoon event held on the stage of the Winter Garden Theatre:
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
Based on the novel and film by Frank Cottrell Boyce, the new musical will reunite Guettel with Tony-winning Light in the Piazza director Bartlett Sher.
