On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I stayed at the Mandalay Bay Resort. When it came to choose an evening’s entertainment, it was easy to choose the musical comedy MAMMA MIA! since it was playing in the theater at Mandalay Bay.
While I’m not a huge ABBA fan, I’d heard so many good things about it that I thought I’d give it a go. And am I ever glad that I did!
You may already be familiar with the plot – a young girl invites three men to her wedding, hoping to find out once and for all which one of the men is her father. Of course, the answer can’t come easily, or we wouldn’t have a show now, would we!
The show is full of ABBA hits, including Dancing Queen, Take a Chance on Me, Knowing Me, Knowing You, The Winner Takes it All, and the grand finale, Waterloo. If you were a teen during this era, chances are you danced to these tune, perhaps even wearing some of these same outfits!
MAMMA MIA! closes at Mandalay Bay on January 4th, 2009. If you can’t make it to Vegas to see the show, catch it when it comes to your town – even if you’re not a Dancing Queen!
The story was chronicled in a movie, starring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan:
