Three Questions with Mamma Mia's Anmarie D'Ortenzio
The talented young actress plays larger-than-life Tanya in the upcoming pop musical April 12-14
We caught up with LWE junior Anmarie D'Ortenzio, who is busy rehearsing for the upcoming LWE production of Mamma Mia! April 12-14. Tickets are on sale now at lwemusic.org ABBA's hits tell the hilarious story of a young woman's search for her birth father. This sunny and funny tale unfolds on a Greek island paradise. On the eve of her wedding, a daughter's quest to discover the identity of her father brings three men from her mother's past back to the island they last visited 20 years ago.
Mamma Mia! is a fun, glittery, dance-pop musical, and we were able to chat with Anmarie a bit about the character she plays and the work she's put into the show.
Does Tanya stand for something else ( a choice Donna didn’t make or didn’t have ?) or is she just comic relief, larger than life character?
Tanya has stayed away from the island due to her three husbands. She has been very busy... to say the least.The only thing she’s avoiding is not having a good time!Tanya is the flirtatious, fun friend we all have and love. If she represents anything, it’s most definitely Donna’s younger days! There is never a dull moment with Tanya!

It is very difficult embodying an older woman, but with the help of our awesome directors, the Dynamos have created something amazing!
