Mamma Mia!

Pros: Great, energetic performances. Fantastic music interwoven into the plot.
Cons: It ends...

For Christmas this year (2001), I wanted to get my wife something different. Something she would remember and enjoy for a long time to come. So, when we were in NYC back in November visiting the Mars 2112 restaurant (See my review), I happened to...

Pros: Excellent musicians, Enthusiastic cast, Fun experience
Cons: None

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: Songs, Costumes, Choreography, Comedy, Male eye candy
Cons: Shut up. There are no cons. Why are you always so negative?

Yesterday, I went to see Mamma Mia! at the France-Merrick Performing Arts Center at the Hippodrome Theatre (Wow, that’s a mouthful!) in downtown Baltimore, an easy walk from my apartment in Mount Vernon. I had been wanting to see Mamma ...

Pros: Wonderful singing, acting, songs, story line.
Cons: None

On Saturday, November 5, our daughter, her boyfriend and my husband and I went to the Winter Garden Theater to see Mamma Mia. General Information: Mamma Mia opened on Broadway on October 18, 2001. There are no plans to close this wonderful ...

Pros: Amazingly talented cast. More fun than you can imagine.
Cons: This isn't my real life.

What is it about ABBA? Why do we adore them so? We may never know, but at least we now have one more venue for our adoration: the newest addition to the Broadway scene, MAMMA MIA!

For some reason, Chicago has become the new testing ground...

Pros: ABBA songs, great cast, fantastic story
Cons: only minor, see review

I got to have my first "girl's night out" last night since having my baby. Let me tell you, although we were only gone for 3 hours, it was the best three hours I've had for a long time! My best friend and I, who went to college together, and share a...

Pros: ABBA music, young cast makes for an exciting evening.
Cons: Give Rose Sezniak some time to grow into Sophie, she can do it!

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: fun filled entertainment
Cons: took so long to come to New Zealand

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: Fantastic music, hilarious story, great acting
Cons: The Second Act drags a little in the middle when there are more slow songs

First, I will explain the title. This play is just like going to It's a Small World at Disney World. You come out sing the song for days. I have been singing ABBA music for over 72 hours now. Good thing I like the music.

...

Pros: too many to mention!
Cons: tickets are quite expensive

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS AT THE PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE LONDON. ~The Theatre~ Mamma Mia is being shown at the Prince of Wales Theatre on Coventry Street, Leicester Square, just off Shaftsbury Avenue. You can get to Leicester Square really easily by ...

Pros: Funny, upbeat, wonderful tribute to one of my old favorite rock groups, ABBA..
Cons: They didn't play "Fernando"!..

"Mamma Mia"
Music and lyrics by
ABBA's own Benny Andersson
and Bjorn Ulvaeus......

Damn!,.. Why did I wear those high pumps?!
I knew in advance I'd wind up out of my chair
rockin and clappin to ABBA along with everyone...

Pros: Pretty lights and flashing colours.
Cons: Plot, music, direction, design, acting

Mamma Mia is one of the worst excuses for theatre I have ever seen. Being in a job where I'm ...

Pros: Very talented cast, fun music, great choreography.
Cons: If you dislike rock music or ABBA in particular, you may not enjoy this.

I saw the touring version of Mama Mia at the National Theater in Washington, DC in late May, 2002. As a child of the '80's I was familiar with only a few ABBA songs and so I was somewhat apprehensive about seeing this show. However, the talent and...

Pros: High energy; great female vocalists; upbeat story; unexpectedly good script
Cons: Drags a bit at beginning/middle of second act

Let me start this by saying I'm not a big ABBA fan. During my "younger years", the only song by them I really liked was 'S.O.S.' The reason I decided to see this play was because of the plot---it's the day before a daughter's wedding. Mom (on her own)...

Pros: Great music - peppy story - fun cast
Cons: not so deep or memorable lines.

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 ...
