Mamma Mia, .. What are your thoughts. — Page 3

i saw it twice (when louise was still in it) and i loved it both times. it's one of those shows that is just infectiously fun. a couple of my favorite songs are "chicquitita" and "money, money, money"

Oh yeah, All Shock Up was awesome! Thank god that the boo-rific Mamma Mia! opened the door for all these jukebox musicals...

I LOVE Mamma Mia! and am not afraid to admit it. It's pure fun and it just makes me feel all warm inside every time I see it.

I grew up listening to ABBA songs and as they've always been a part of my life, it just made me enjoy the show more. I remember the first time I saw it, I couldn't get over the choice of songs with certain scenes- thought it was done so well (in most cases).

The show also gave me a chance to see some amazing performers like Louise Pitre (who's become a personal favorite), Tina Maddigan, Karen Mason and Carolee Carmello. What's wrong with that?

Oh, and my favorite song is "Slipping Through My Fingers" , especially when sung by Louise and Tina.

I haven't seen the show, have mixed feelings about the OBC, but I suspect I would like it, based on my age. I grew up when ABBA was in, (under age 10 but still music aware), and I still love their music. I think the OBC did quite well on Dancing Queen and The Winner Takes it All, among a few others, but I totally prefer real ABBA to the OBC.

Thank you for the correction, guess I haven't looked at the CD close enough. An OBC probably would have been better then...I'll have to see it.

It's an enjoyable and fun show. I like to think of it as "the chick-flick musical". Is it a great piece of theatre? Not at all, but it's entertaining nonetheless.
