Mama Mia is the feel good, feel really good musical of my year. If you, like me, spent your entire 9 year old life playing/rewinding/playing/rewinding your mother's ABBA tapes so that you could sing along, this musical is guaranteed to have you singing and dancing in the aisles, truly! My mother scored excellent $100 tickets for $50, and we were estatic when we found ourselves in the third row middle section. For the first time, I could see actor's expressions and not just hear them belting out. And facial expressions are key in this production, espcecially for the humor factor. I found myself knowing most of the lyrics, although I did miss one of my favorites, Fernando. So I sang and laughed my way through it, and my definite favorites were Tanya and Rosie who were older women but had perfect comedic timing and could belt the tunes as fast as they came. One of the men, the one who played Sam was a bit operatic though, and his voice was just not suited to ABBA. My mother was up clapping and dancing and showing the audience just how to do it, because we had a rather sedate audience that evening. Needless to say, it was fun for the whole family. |
