Backstage at Mamma Mia! an hour before the Wednesday matinee, the energy is upbeat. With a week until Christmas, cast members discuss the white elephant gift swap and prepare for a dressing room door decorating competition. Christine Sherrill—whose spacious dressing room serves as a pre-show hangout spot for Jalynn Steele and Carly Sakolove—shares festive treats amid a spirited discussion about holiday pet photos. It may be freezing in New York City, but inside the Winter Garden Theatre, the vibes are warm and welcoming.
Much of the company transferred to Broadway from the 25th Anniversary North American Tour, which kicked off in October 2023. There's a comfort and camaraderie among the cast that reflects how long they've worked together. For swing Gray Phillips, covering the role of Sophie for Amy Weaver during this performance, the closeness also helps with getting into character. "Especially with Sophie, it's about being present with the people that you're with, the friendships and the relationships—which thankfully I already have, because we've been on tour together for two years."
