CHARACTER LIST

Here is the character breakdown for Mamma Mia! including vocal ranges. This reflects show billing, not the order in our audition packet. 

Donna Sheridan

Gender: Female, Age: 40 to 50, Vocal range top: A5, Vocal range bottom: E3

The owner of the Taverna on the Greek island of Kalokairi; Sophie’s mother, she is the former lead singer of “Donna and the Dynamos." Honest, straight and hard-working, she is the most naturalistic and vulnerable of the characters. Delivers some of the biggest solos in the show.

Sophie Sheridan

Gender: Female, Age: 20 to 25, Vocal range top: E5, Vocal range bottom: F#3

Donna’s headstrong 21-year-old daughter, Sophie is determined to have what her mother never had: a traditional family and a father to walk her down the aisle. Young, bright and energetic, she has lived all her life on the island and is ready to leave. 

Tanya Cresham-Leigh

Gender: Female, Age: 40 to 50, Vocal range top: E5, Vocal range bottom: E3

One of Donna’s oldest and best friends, Tanya has married several millionaires and discovered a lot more about plastic surgery than love - to the extent that she was ever even looking. Wild, fun-loving and a big character, she flirts mercilessly with young men, happy to play, but not to stick around. 

Rosie Mulligan

Gender: Female, Age: 40 to 50, Vocal range top: D5, Vocal range bottom: E3

Donna’s friend, a former member of the Dynamos; unmarried, free-spirited and a renowned author of cookbooks. A character who has developed a confident, funny and self-deprecating exterior which masks her inner vulnerability. Mostly comic, yet one of the most poignant moments in the show in the heart of Act 2. 

Sam Carmichael

Gender: Male, Age: 40 to 50, Vocal range top: Ab4, Vocal range bottom: D3

One of Sophie’s potential fathers and a wealthy architect. Sam has regretted leaving Donna all his life and now finds himself divorced and back in her presence. He is straight-laced, confident and composed. At times he is perhaps a little overbearing, but he is determined not to mess up the second chance he has been given… a very true and honest character within the chaos of the play. 

Bill Austin

Gender: Male, Age: 40 to 50, Vocal range top: F#4, Vocal range bottom: Bb2

Another of Sophie’s potential fathers, a well-known travel writer, Bill has visited the far reaches of the earth, but never found what he’s really looking for. A real character (often played English or Australian, though not necessarily), Bill has generally avoided the complexities of a relationship and now wonders if it’s too late. Lots of comedy and a golden heart within.

Harry Bright

Gender: Male, Age: 40 to 50, Vocal range top: F#4, Vocal range bottom: C#3

Another of Sophie’s potential fathers and a respected London banker. Once a head-banging, partying musician who went down the straight road - at least with his career. He is quirky, in the closet and something of a romantic nostalgist. A nice guy, determined to make up for some past regrets and full of singing.

Sky

Gender: Male, Age: 20 to 30, Vocal range top: D5, Vocal range bottom: Eb3

Sophie’s fiancé; a former stockbroker who moved to the island in a young version of a mid-life crisis. He is a little bit older than Sophie (25-32) but smitten by her charm. Perhaps he is too eager to please and has not quite found all the answers he had hoped for on the island.

Lisa

Gender: Female, Age: 20 to 25, Vocal range top: Db5, Vocal range bottom: G3

Sophie’s friend who has traveled to the island for the wedding. With Ali, a supporting double-act of bubbly, bridesmaid excitement!

Ali

Gender: Female, Age: 20 to 25, Vocal range top: D5, Vocal range bottom: G3

Sophie’s friend who has traveled to the island for the wedding. With Lisa, a supporting double-act of bubbly, bridesmaid excitement!

Pepper

Gender: Male, Age: 20 to 25, Vocal range top: F5, Vocal range bottom: A4

A flirty waiter at the Taverna featured through his brief relationship with Tanya. Energetic and fun-loving, makes a great double-act with Eddie. Opportunity for a good mover.

Eddie

Gender: Male; flexible, Age: 20 to 25

A waiter, boatman and handyman at the Taverna. Other half of double-act with Pepper. 

Father Alexandrios

Gender: Male, Age: old….

The minister who officiates Sophie’s wedding. Often, though not always portrayed as a heavy-weight Greek Orthodox priest, this is a potentially delightful little role for a character actor of non-specified gender with some imagination. 

Ensemble

Gender: any and all, Age: any and all

The ensemble in Mamma Mia! appears all the time - even in songs when it feels like they shouldn’t be there...must be able to jump into numerous character roles!

SHEET MUSIC

Audition sheet music is linked here. Hard copies are also available in Mrs. Isaacs' office. You may prepare as many as you like, but please be ready to perform ONE at your audition. We will also use these (and potentially new pieces that we'll teach you) at callbacks. 

PRACTICE TRACKS

Because of the style of music in this show, we are auditioning to karaoke practice tracks. All tracks, as well as "GUIDED" versions are available in this google folder. 

PLEASE look at the titles of each track carefully. Remember that you can use the "GUIDED" version for learning, but you will be asked to perform with the non-guided version. 

There will also be a music-learning session on Thursday, September 4th, after school in the Chorus Room.
