Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! a night to remember! The Gay Men's Chorus of Charlotte and the Women's Chorus of Charlotte are joining forces for the ultimate feel-good event of the season — a high-energy, glitter-soaked celebration of the music that conquered the world.

This is The Big Gay Sing 7: Mamma Mia! Edition — and it’s not just a concert. It’s a full-on sing-your-face-off, dance-in-the-aisles, joy-exploding experience featuring the iconic hits of ABBA from Mamma Mia! (yes, the musical AND the movie ). The songs you blast in the car The harmonies you “accidentally” know by heart The choruses you physically cannot stay quiet during And good news… singing along isn’t just allowed — it’s EXPECTED.

Equal parts concert, disco party, and communal love letter to pop perfection, this is your invitation to drop your inhibitions, grab your people, and become part of the show. So warm up those vocal cords, dust off your platform boots (optional but encouraged), and join us for a night where the joy is loud, proud, and unapologetically fabulous.
