North Kingstown Town Beach

West Bay Community Theater will present one of the original "jukebox musicals", MAMMA MIA! - IN CONCERT, Saturday, August 15, 2026 (rain date August 16th) at the North Kingstown Town Beach Bandshell. WBCT's unique, hybrid "In-Concert" format lends itself particularly well to this show, putting the music of ABBA to the forefront while still delivering a theatrical experience not to be missed. 

Last year's CHICAGO-IN CONCERT
broke all WBCT attendance records and MAMMA MIA! looks to do even better, if advance ticket sales are any indication. Director Paul Nolette joins the fold this year, working with the returning Alex Tirrell (Music Director) and Marley Shaw (Choreographer) to produce a sure-fire summer hit. With food trucks (Hometown Poke, Palagis Ice Cream, and Pam's Grill On the Go), an August night on the water, and a night of musical theater, it's the perfect occasion to arrive early, claim your spot on the lawn and take in one of the must-see events of the season. 



The cast includes Patty Mott (who many will remember as Mama Morton in last year's Chicago), Amanda Birkitt, Ron Martin, Gabriella Rose, Luca Ialongo, Morgan Van Thuyne, Joey Del Santo, Ivis Tostes, Ella Gwiazdzinski, Olivia Dufresne, Nathaniel Jarret, Jackson Singleton, Michael Gorman, Harper Hennings, Cienna McNamara, Maggie Peterson, Kristen Allen, Rylie Appolonia, James Boughman, Alexa Laurent, Laura Perez, Hana Toler and Jack Barriere. 

Mamma Mia!-In Concert will be another patented WBCT hybrid musical event with a blend of "In Concert"-style staging and traditional musical theater, all accentuated by large video screens featuring live closeups and selected imagery and song titles. No seat is a bad seat for a WBCT summer show! 

Tickets are on sale now at the WBCT box office. Tickets are $22 General Admission and $17 for Senior/Student/Active military (proof of status may be asked at the box office tent day of show). While tickets will be available to buy in person at the event, we highly suggest booking in advance to guarantee your spot.

Synopsis:

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.

The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter, and friendship, creating an unforgettable show. A large cast, non-stop laughs, and explosive dance numbers combine to make Mamma Mia!
a guaranteed smash hit. A mother. A daughter. Three possible dads. And a trip down the aisle you will never forget!
