Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is taking its show on the road with its new “Movies on the Move” mobile movie truck and outdoor film experience!
The next event of the summer will be Tuesday, July 16 at Hillside Sedona, featuring the blockbuster big screen musical sensation “Mamma Mia!”. Showtime will be at dusk (approximately 7:45-8:00 p.m.).
Bring your lawn chairs and your family and friends and enjoy “Starry Night Cinema” under the stars on the festival’s giant outdoor screen with state-of-the-art projection and sound! The festival’s mobile concession stand will have movie treats available.
You can dance! You can jive! Having the time of your life! Come sing along to all the catchy tunes, including ‘Dancing Queen,’ ‘Take a Chance on Me,’ ‘Honey, Honey’ and many more!
Have you ever been to a film musical and had the uncontrollable urge to burst into song? Now is your chance! Let your inhibitions go for an evening where you are the stars!
Based on the Broadway smash and filled with all the incredibly catchy ABBA songs you know and love, “Mamma Mia!” is an irresistibly charming musical extravaganza guaranteed to have you singing and grooving like the Dancing Queen you know you are!
Oscar-winner Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast, including Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth, in this musical celebration of mothers, daughters and fathers, and true loves lost and new ones found.
Young Sophie (Amanda Seyfried), daughter of Donna (Streep), sends a letter to three men, inviting them to her wedding — because after reading her mother’s diary, she suspects one of them is her father. But which one? When all three men (Brosnan, Firth and Stellan Skarsgård) arrive for the wedding at the sun-drenched Greek island where Donna runs a hotel, Donna flips out when she finds the passions she thought she’d laid aside are coming back to life, and she’s going to need the help of her two best gal pals (Christine Baranski and Julie Walters), not to mention a whole bunch of ABBA songs, to help her make it through!
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 for any theatre.
So … come dressed in your favorite “Mamma Mia!” attire (if you wish) and join the fun under the stars! Good company, song, laughter and fun…what better way to spend an evening? We promise a special event you will never forget!
