MAMMA MIA! (musical)
Booking until 25th April 2009
On a sunny Mediterranean island, a daughter on the verge of marriage learns
about her background from her 1970's party girl mother. Typical of that decade,
mom's story can be told totally through the medium of those Swedish superstars,
ABBA. And it is. Transferred here from the Prince Edward Theatre on the 3rd June 2004.
On 23rd August 2007, the show celebrated it's 3,500th performance in London. Click here now to view video clips from

From the Prince Edward Theatre production:
Launching a broadside against this one will win theatremonkey no friends, he
knows, but here goes...
The music is well known to most people, toe tapping and inoffensive, the
stage set is functional and matches the story in both style and emotional depth.
But the Dance, the Dance. Saturday Night Fever is but a memory as the
witlessness of the choreography unfolds on the stage. A grafted story
theatremonkey can take, even admire the fact a bunch of unconnected songs can
become a tale at all, but why not give the show a little visual style - ABBA was
about glam after all.
A light evening of entertainment, but ballet fans may want to take a paper
bag.
