Trauma Mia: A Transgender Parody of the hit Musical

Do you like “Mamma Mia”? Do you like transgender people? If your answer to both questions is yes, then Trauma Mia is the show for you! If your answer to only one of those questions is yes, this still might be the show for you; we’re not sure.

Trauma Mia" follows a closeted trans girl, Sophie, who travels to Greece for her sister Allison’s wedding to her blind fiancée Katie. Not wanting to steal the spotlight from Allison, Sophie tries to keep her transition a secret. But after the siblings meet their grandmother’s caregiver, Max, who’s also trans and turns out to be Katie’s ex, a zany series of miscommunications and misunderstandings leads to drama (and song and dance numbers).

Also in tow is June, Sophie’s kooky transfemme roommate who dispenses questionable advice from afar; Donna, their narcissistic alcoholic mother, who’s hosting the wedding as a tax avoidance strategy; and Tom, their Gen Z younger brother.

Trauma Mia is written by writer and comedian Natasha Dumas, whose work has been published in McSweeney’s, Belladonna, and Jane Austen’s Wastebasket. It stars Nat Kissingford, T Anthony, Nyomi Nee, Ellis Durand, Hannah Brown, Emeline Lakrout, and Natasha Dumas.
