"Chikateetah, tell me whats wrong!" Quote from one of the many songs that make up this amazing musical! I had only seen a majority of the movie Mamma Mia! But I fell in love with it from the moment the movie started. This past summer consisted of my sister and I spending late nights watching it together, singing our favorite songs everytime. As summer ended, I had found out we were going to see the actual "musical" live; I was thrilled! Today was the day I went to see it, and the songs are still buzzing through my head.
From Super Trooper to Lay All Your Love on Me, it was all spectacular! It was so awesome to see the live performance of these two and other songs, and how they were played out. Of course it wasn't exactly like the movie, but it was still good in its own way.
The show, if you didn't know, is about this girl who is about to get married to her fiance. All her life, she was raised by her tough and loving mother, but never knew who her father was. It starts out with her sending three letters to three different men pretending to be her mom asking them to come to her wedding. Throughout the performance she tries to figure out which one is her dad; it is basically a comedy with little turns here and there and ends with a crazy ending!
Although I loved the show as a whole, I don't think it reached the potential that I thought it would. The only other musical that I have seen is WICKED, and if I had to compare that to this, there would be a major difference. I saw WICKED in Chicago, the theater there could have been equipped with a better sound system, but even so the theater that I went to today was perfectly good. The singing just wasn't as mind blowing and spectacular as I thought it would be. No matter that, the show was very, very cool. I would definitely go see it again!
