Het Verhaal

HET 4-GANGEN DINER

De LIVE Muziek

De Afterparty

Christine Sherrill (starring as Donna Sheridan, center) and the company of “Mamma Mia!”

Joan Marcus

Christine Sherrill is certainly not “only 17” any longer — but she’s still having the time of her life as a dancing queen in the ABBA-infused hit show, “Mamma Mia!”

And Sherrill’s character’s name isn’t officially “dancing queen” — it’s Donna Sheridan — but it’s probably a title she deserves after performing, by her estimate, more than 2,000 times in the musical, arriving this week at the James M. Nederlander Theatre as part of a 25th anniversary tour.

“Clearly, I can’t go out with the kids in the show,” said Sherrill of how she paces herself for the demanding role. “I practice a lot of yoga. I can’t drink. I can’t talk excessively after the show or socialize.”

There has to be some socializing in Chicago, for a woman whose theater life kicked off here. You may have seen Sherrill, who attended Streamwood High School and Northern Illinois University, at Drury Lane Theatre, the Goodman Theatre, Northlight Theater, Marriott Theatre, and on a host of other local stages.

Sherrill name dropped Sean Allan Krill, a Chicago acting veteran in town to star in “Sunday in the Park with George” at the Studebaker Theater in May. The two have recently been comparing notes, she said, on what it’s like as a more mature actor to handle the nightly rigors of the stage life.

Christine Sherrill

Courtey Broadway in Chicago

For those who don’t know the show, “Mamma Mia!,” which was also made into a 2008 movie starring Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth among many others, is about a young woman who invites three middle-aged men to her Greek island wedding in hopes of learning which one is actually her father. Long-buried emotions surface as Donna, Sherrill’s character and the bride’s mother, confronts her past. And what better way to unleash those emotions than with the immortal words of Swedish super band, ABBA?

Sherrill said she’s often asked if she’s grown tired of a musical that she’s been connected to, off and on, since 2006, including a Las Vegas residency production in the early 2000s at the now-defunct Tropicana resort. No, she reveals, because this version of the show feels “completely different” — even though little about what happens on stage has changed.

“It’s the resurgence of ABBA and the disco venue in younger generations,” she said. “So we’re meeting a lot of young kids who have not even been to musical theater, but they are coming for the ABBA music.”

“Cabaret” at the Marriott Theatre starred Christine Sherrill as Fraulein Kost in 2014.

Peter Coombs/Sun-Times File

“Mamma Mia!” encourages audience participation. On this latest tour, audiences have been much more “assertive” than in the past, Sherrill said. From time to time, ushers have had to tell audience members during the show to sit down.

“We may have had one female audience member storm the stage to sing. She didn’t make it …. She was really enamored by Sam (Carmichael, one of Donna’s former flames and played in the show by Victor Wallace),” Sherrill said.

As she prepares to take the stage here in Chicago, Sherrill said she’s grateful for the opportunities she had here that helped launch her career, including being cast as Norma Desmond in the 2012 Drury Lane Theatre production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Sunset Boulevard,” for which she won a Jeff Award.

Christine Sherrill won a Jeff Award for her portrayal of Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard” at Drury Lane Theatre Oakbrook Terrace in 2013.

Brett Beiner

“It brought me into a new career of playing leading ladies; prior to that, I found myself playing a lot of comic relief, ... a certain kind of role that was dim,” she said.

She credits former Drury Lane artistic director Bill Osetek with (as the ABBA song goes) taking a chance on her.

“It was a challenge for me, and I felt like he took a risk,” she said.

As for what she’s particularly looking forward to now that’s back in her early theatrical home, Sherrill said: “I’ve already made my Mother’s Day reservations for Petterino’s (restaurant).”

'Mamma Mia!' takes the stage at Nederlander Theatre, starring an Oak Park native

CHICAGO (WLS) -- It is a busy week for Broadway in Chicago, with the opening of three shows, including the 25th anniversary of a beloved musical.

For just over two weeks in May, the Nederlander Theatre presents "Mamma Mia!"

ABC7 Chicago is now streaming 24/7. Click here to watch

"Mamma Mia!" is the story of a young bride trying to find her father. It focuses on a mother, a daughter and three possible dads in a Greek island paradise.

Alisa Melendez and Grant Reynolds joined ABC7 Chicago Wednesday to share more about the musical.

Melendez, who plays the bride, said the reason people keep coming back to see the show after 25 years is because of the joy it brings to both the audience and performers.

"There's family. There's love. There's women's empowerment, friendship, so many things we can relate to in our own lives," Melendez said.

SEE ALSO: 'The Simon and Garfunkel Story' returns to Broadway in Chicago for 1 week only

Reynolds, who plays the groom, said that a unique appeal to family relationships is what has made "Mamma Mia!" so well loved.

"It's really about unconventional family dynamics at the core of it. It's multigenerational, so it's perfect for all walks of life," Reynolds said.

Reynolds is a Chicago native whose passion for theatre began with an Oak Park community theater group. Reynolds stayed involved with performing arts throughout high school before graduating and attending Carnegie Mellon University for musical theatre.

Melendez and Reynolds said that attendees can expect to participate in a "built-in concert" at the end of the show, where audience members can sing their favorite ABBA songs along with performers.

"Mamma Mia!" is playing through May 19, with tickets starting at $79.
