Pros: Excellent musicians, Enthusiastic cast, Fun experience
Cons: None
Summary: Spandex. Disco. The 70s. ABBA. Though many of my friends would never believe it, I'm a huge ABBA fan. Thanks to AliventiAsylum, I'm here today to own up to my "guilty pleasure" and, at the same time, to tell you a little something about a...

Pros: fun filled entertainment
Cons: took so long to come to New Zealand
Summary: Living in New Zealand has its up side but being a small country at the bottom of the planet means we miss most world wide live performances be they music or theatre. Eventually, if we wait long enough we may just be rewarded when some entrepreneur ...

Pros: Still fun regardless how many times you see it!
Cons: The music is LOUD!
Summary: Even if you've seen Momma Mia before, in my case this makes my fifth time, it's like watching your favorite movie. You know the lines and songs by heart and, yet, each time you find something new to enjoy about it. And, no, I am not an avid ...

Pros: ABBA music, young cast makes for an exciting evening.
Cons: Give Rose Sezniak some time to grow into Sophie, she can do it!
Summary: I wasn't sure I wanted to go. After seeing a very mediocre MAMMA MIA! The Movie, I wasn't sure I wanted to pop $70 plus for a ticket to MAMMA MIA! Live. I heard so many good things about the stage play, some people were going back to see it ...

Pros: Score points with the wife, talented cast, funny show
Cons: Bad karaoke in the audience..ok it was actually funny.
Summary: Ok guys. I'm like most of you. I'm not a fan of broadway and definitely not a fan of musicals. I'd rather be watching ESPN any night of the week. But we do it for our ladies because we love them, right? I recently took my girlfriend to see Mamma ...

Pros: Light, happy, music of days gone by with a cute story line.
Cons: Most the cast saves their best energy for the grand finale.
Summary: The 2006 Denver tour of Mamma Mia! proved to be an amusing way to spend a Sunday afternoon and LOTS of money---$75 for orchestra seating and parking. The sets and lighting were streamlined while offering visual interest that didn't distract from the ...

Pros: Great music - peppy story - fun cast
Cons: not so deep or memorable lines.
Summary: It's really nice to see a professional play that is not about the theater, or preparing a play, or producing a play, or being in a play....instead, it's about the music. This is right! ABBA is upbeat - there are no slow or draggy songs, there is ...

Pros: The sound of the music. The enthusiasm of the cast.
Cons: Not enough leg room. Don't sit too close to the speakers.
Summary: Recently when I was visiting Toronto, I saw advertisements for the musical Mamma Mia. The only reason why I was interested in attending was strictly because of the ABBA music. What sent chills up and down my spine was to hear the ABBA music performed ...
