A Tribute to Mamma Mia! at Ellen’s Stardust Theatre

The Broadway Association hosted a special luncheon celebrating all things Mamma Mia! at Ellen's Stardust Theatre. Broadway Association Member and Miss Subway 1959, Ellen Hart, welcomed the Broadway Association and shared the news that The Iridium, the 160-seat venue under Ellen's Stardust Diner, will also be known as Ellen's Stardust Theatre. In addition to their Mamma Mia! Brunches, Ellen plans to host other theatrical performances there in the future. 

Panelists included Christine Sherrill, currently starring in Mamma Mia! as Donna, and Karen Mason, Mamma Mia’s original Tanya (2001-02), for a lively discussion moderated by Frank DiLella, Emmy Award winner and host of On Stage on NY1. The luncheon closed with a show-stopping performance by the talented Stardusters, who gave us a taste of the diner's popular Mamma Mia! brunch experience.
