How can you not love the musical “Mama Mia” with its pulsating disco beat to the popular 70’s musical group ABBA? The story that is woven around the music is about a young bride-to-be who doesn’t know who her real father is. She knows that her mother had several suitors in her younger days, but which one is her father? The mystery unveils with dancing boys and ‘Dancing Queens’ to the bubbly ABBA music. In one number the dancers wear swim flippers and the audience went wild. Every song in this bright, happy musical is a hit and the strong cast is absolutely fantastic as they dance and sing their way on this Island. There are exotic set changes, exotic costumes and sexy dancing. The only downside that I heard during intermission was from a straight guy complaining to his girlfriend – “The original cast was more hunky.” I don’t know if he was referring to the girls or boys. |
