Michael
Aaron Linder portrays one of the fathers in
'Mamma Mia' opening June 3 at the Fabulous
Fox
'Mamma Mia'
returns to Fox with 'home-town' flavor in
one of the dads
Editor’s Note: Because of business
travel commitments, we were unable to see
this fabulous production at The Fabulous
Fox, so it will be covered by a free-lance
writer. He’s lucky…it will be his first
time to see the show…we’ve seen it three
times already and regret being unable to
take part in what is one of the most
fun-filled evenings imaginable. So, if you
are a ‘Boomer’, a fan of ABBA, or it you’re
an elderly person, kick up your heels and
enjoy this wonderful entertainment
experience at The Fabulous Fox.
“MAMMA MIA!” is at the Fox Theatre for a
limited one-week engagement from June 3-8.
St. Louis is the first market in the United
States to have the tour of “Mamma Mia!” five
times!
One of the three possible dads’ in the show,
Harry Bright, the reserved British banker
with a ‘secret’, is played by Michael Aaron
Lindner who grew up in St. Louis. Below is
what he recently said about performing in
his home town.
What's the scariest/favorite part of playing
your home town?
What if I got booed... that would be
terrible! I've seen many shows in many
different theaters, but none compare to the
Fabulous Fox. It has always been my dream to
play that theatre.
How will this stop on the Mamma Mia!
tour be different for you?
I will be staying with my parents for the
week. I travel the show with my wife and
3-month-old son. While in St. Louis, my
folks will be able to see Clark for the
first time in about two months. The sweetest
part is that they will be so busy spoiling
my son, that they won't have time to bug me.
Also, being able to stay in an actual home
for a week will be bliss. Maybe Mom will
cook!
What touring Broadway shows do you remember
seeing in your home town?
My mother and father took me to see just
about every show that toured to the Fox. I
grew a deep appreciation for professional
union touring companies after seeing so many
quality productions there. A few that stick
out in my memory are City of Angels,
The Secret Garden, Evita,
Tommy, and The King and I
starring Yul Brynner.
Are you planning to do anything special with
your fellow company members once you are on
your home turf?
As much as I would love to take them all to
Mississippi Nights or Blueberry Hill after
the show some evening, I will probably be
home changing a poopy diaper!
