Musical traditions live on

By Tina Meazell

Woodrow Wilson High School Performing Arts Department presents its 63rd consecutive musical theater production, “Mamma Mia!,” on April 23-26.

You’ll dance, you’ll jive, and you’ll have the time of your life when the Woodrow Wilson Performing Arts Department brings the magic of “Mamma Mia!” to the stage.  

Sophie’s big wedding day would not be complete without her mother, Donna, a few of their life-long friends, an entire Greek island, and of course, her father — whom she’s never met. When Sophie secretly invites three men from her mother’s past in the hopes of meeting her dad, it turns into a Greek tragedy filled with a fair share of comedy and romance set to the foot-stomping, hands-clapping tunes of ABBA. Sam, Bill or Harry, who will walk Sophie down the aisle? Grab your tickets and say, “I do, I do, I do,” to find out.  

Woodrow Wilson High School has a rich tradition of musical theater and may be able to stake a claim as the home of high school musicals in Texas, producing its first, Best Foot Forward, in 1943. The East Dallas community comes together each year to ensure the Woodrow musical is a success. We are proud to continue the tradition with this electrifying production of “Mamma Mia!”
