Twenty-five years of Mamma Mia
Twenty-five years in one show and he's played both Sky and Sam, which means he's gone from the groom to the maybe-dad. That's a whole career arc inside a single jukebox musical. National Theatre in D.C. through November 15. #musical #washingtondc https://www.washingtonblade.com/2026/11/07/victor-wallace-mamma-mia-national-theatre/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=victor-wallace-mamma-mia…

Frida on stage in DC
A one-woman show where the performer plays herself, Kahlo and a journalist who came to look at the blue house. The polio and the bus crash and still the dahlias in the braids, that's the part that gets me.
