Lol. To start off with, I apologize for the Borat quote in the subject line, but I can't help it! :-) If you've seen the movie you know what I mean ;-)

Anyway, I FINALLY got a chance to see the Broadway production of Mamma Mia! It was at this beautiful theatre called the Benedum in downtown Pitt. (see pic below) I've been looking forward to this for a very long time, especially after attending the Abba sing-along at the Alamo in Austin :-)

The musical began with a warning that parts of the play involved people wearing spandex. How funny is that? :-) And at the end, after taking a bow, the cast returned to the stage to perform 3 songs again for the whole audience to stand up, sing along and even dance to! What a way to say good bye!

So how was it? Simply AMAZING! I obviously loved singing-along to all the songs, but much more importantly, the play had a proper story line. I had heard complaints that there was no real plot and the creators just tried to squeeze in the songs anywhere they could. But that was hardly the case. The characters were pretty well developed, the songs were appropriately used, there was a lot of humor, romance and in some instances a tinge of sadness. This is definitely a play every fan of ABBA will love. And if you're ambivalent, I have a pretty good feeling that you'll like it too. :-)
