The Musical

My name is Holly Dunphy and I played the part of Sophie Sheridan in Coláiste Muire’s production of Mamma Mia. Once the auditions concluded and the double cast was announced, we dove straight into rehearsals. We got a timetable each week and worked hard from September all the way through to showtime in late November. Rehearsals were always a blast, and it was amazing to see the show take shape as we neared opening night.

This mammoth production involved a cast of more than one hundred people, including directors, choreographers, documentarists, make-up teams, set crews and a double cast of 24 leads and dozens of extras. It really was a team effort and the memories and friends made during the production has been the highlight of my time to date in Coláiste Muire.
