MAMMA MIA Returns to the PAC

Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus’ MAMMA MIA!, the smash hit musical based on the songs of ABBA, returns to the Performing Arts Center at Kent State University at Tuscarawas Nov. 3 at 7:30 p.m.  The show is co-sponsored by Mix 94.1 Radio and the Tuscarawas County Community Foundation.
