I like going out on a Saturday night.� It�s when everyone else is out on the town and you get dressed up.� This time the Boss sent me to review a show I always wanted to see, and I was not disappointed.� I wanted to see The Blue Man Group, once I got to see it, I was sick, what a dumb show.� Not with Mamma Mia, I enjoyed it from start to finish. I liked the big blonde that played mother, but who doesn�t?
I have never cared for movie musicals, but I love going to stage musicals.� There is something wonderful about seeing a stage full of people singing their hearts out.�
Mamma Mia is a love story about a young American girl planning her wedding on a Greek isle.� The poor girl doesn�t know which one of three men that may be her father. Her mother is troubled because the daughter invited all three men to the wedding to sort things out.��
Over 30 million people have seen Mamma Mia, in nine languages, in 130 cities around the world.� Since it�s 1999 opening, worldwide, Mamma Mia has grossed $1.6 Billion Dollars, that�s billion with a �B�.� A Brit, Catherine Johnson, wrote the story and the music comes from the songs of the Swedish group ABBA, with the title coming from their 1975 hit song, Mamma Mia.�� This summer Universal Pictures will start shooting a Movie adaptation of Mamma Mia staring Meryl Streep as the big blonde mother. Locations for the picture, London, and of course Greece.
Mamma Mia has 22 of ABBA's hits.� Including Dancing Queen; The Winner Takes It All; Take A Chance On Me; Knowing Me, Knowing You; Money, Money, Money; Super Trouper; I Have A Dream; Thank You For The Music; Chiquitita; I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do; Does Your Mother Know; and Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!��
Think of Mamma Mia as �Valley Girl goes Greek�.� It has a HAPPY ENDING and I �wuv� happy endings� who doesn�t?
The Mandalay Bay Theatre is a beautiful room; the sound is great, the chairs are big and comfortable, and there are NO bad seats anywhere in the theatre.
