Photos PHOTO SPECIAL: Celebrating 13 Years of Mamma Mia! on Broadway, and the Work of Ultimate "Super Trouper" Judy McLane The New York production of the international hit musical Mamma Mia! recently celebrated its 13th anniversary on Broadway. We look back at the fabulous ladies to play the lead role of Donna Sheridan- with a special nod to current star (and former "Tanya") Judy McLane, who has been with Mamma for a decade and is the longest running principal cast member in the show's history.

"My time at Mamma Mia! over the past ten years has been nothing short of joyful," says McLane. "It has been an invaluable playground for my craft while both providing a unique environment to work with talented friends and colleagues - especially women - and a wonderful opportunity to be honored with the position of giving first time theater goers a positive Broadway experience."

"Above all, my extended run has allowed me to hone the skill of staying moment to moment in the same production, no matter how many performances I've played. I loved playing the glamorous Tanya, but it was fun to shed my high heels and find an earthier Donna Sheridan who gets to sing great songs!"
