Alumnus dances in touring production of ‘Mama Mia!’

When he was three years old, Andrew Parkhurst went to see a stage performance of “The Wizard of Oz.” That’s where Parkhurst’s determination to be a dancer began.

“Most people can go to a show and just enjoy it. I enjoyed it, but I had a craving to be in it,” Parkhurst said.

Parkhurst, who graduated from TCU with a bachelor’s degree in modern dance in 1993, is currently touring with “Mamma Mia!” as the show’s dance captain.

The show’s U.S. tour, which began in January 2002, is making its 39th stop in Fort Worth. Performances continue at the Bass Hall until Sunday. Parkhurst is an original cast member, but has only been recently promoted to dance captain.
