Mama Mia!


ohmygoodness! this musical was so much fun, so happy and emotional and silly and funny. We laughed the whole show through, and I even cried in some spots. The encore alone would send the saddest person to their happy place.

The 2 best moments for me both involved the 2 hilarious friends of Donna (the mom). The song "Chiquitita" was a testament to long-time girlfriends everywhere, where 2 friends try to cheer up their pal with skits, costumes and a whole lotta love. "Take a Chance on Me" was probably the highlight of the evening. There was a dramatic pause, a heavy sigh and then, "if you change your mind... i'm the first in line. honey I'm still free, take a chance on me." The entire theater roared with laughter!

Thanks to my darling hubby for taking me to this great and memorable show!
