Mamma Mia!

Who's seen it? Tied for first as the greatest musical ever!!

I would like to write a script for a movie version just to show that it can be done well. I saw it in December, and I think I would have liked it better if I had heard the CD beforehand. There needed to be more dialogue between the songs and more justification for some things that happened. Quite a bit seemed to happen for no reason other than to put in an ABBA song.

So, that's probably not the answer you were looking for, but I think I'd like it better if I saw it again.

Yeah it is much better the second time, I've seen it five times personally And yes, I did listen to the CD beforehand (okay I practically memorized it I listened to it so much) and that helped.

u no.. musicals about Pop Groups and rock bands just dont interest me.. go to a concert or a tribute act if u wanna c them.. i dont like them being classed as a musical... no offence to neone.

 

[Marinville288]

I love the way they tie all the songs into one story though

I have loved ABBA since 1979, but quite frankly don't like this musical at all. I recommend checking out the musical "Chess", which was also written by Benny And Bjorn (with lyrics from Tim Rice). "Kristina", also written by Benny and Bjorn should be coming to London or Broadway within the next year...check that out if you get a chance - it is beautiful.
