Mamma Mia

[robashmee]

Ok, I know this is very sad, but here goes.

Took DW and all three DD to see the film Mamma Mia on Friday.
After 3 minutes I was ready to leave, but stuck it out and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole camp romp :grin:

We go to Florida in three weeks and just looking around, have seen the stage show of Mamma Mia is on whilst we are there, at the Bob Carr Performing Arts Centre.

Question is, has anyone been here and seen a show, or does anyone know if the touring show is any good?.

Cheers

Adrian

I've seen it on Broadway and also saw the touring version in Bristol in January which was excellent! I urge you to see the show, guarantee you will be dancing in the aisles by the end....I can't wait to see the film! :grin:

I saw the stage show in London - brilliant!!! Saw the film tonight with my mother - loved it!!! Laughed, sang and cried!!!!

[KK_Cat]

I've seen the touring show twice in The Point in Dublin over the last few years. Absolutely fabulous! I saw the documentary about the show on ITV last weekend and if the clips on that were anything to go by I don't think that the touring show is any different to the permanently based one in London etc.

[wrpac00]

I saw Mama Mia in London, great show.

[ViclovesMGM]

I saw the film last night, loved it, I too was thinking uh oh in the first few minutes but I really got into it after that! Would love to see the show as well!

[Baggie Bird]

Saw the show in London and it was an absolute blast :spin:

Really enjoyed it - I am sure you will too.

I saw the show in London and loved it but it was great to see that lovely scenery in the film.And who cares if Pierce Brosnan cant sing.

I've been to the Bob Carr many times and it is a good theatre for shows. You can book online via Ticketmaster.

I suggest that you use the valet option at the Marriott across the street. Even if you are doing a taxi this is a good drop off point. The theatre is literally across the street from the hotel and it is an easy and safe option. Parking can be difficult if there is anything on at the arena which is next door.

saw the film yesterday with DW - she loved it and I also thought it was great. Think the poor singing by some stars makes it better.

would love to see the stage show.

[jheaton]

just got back from watching the film -took my mum and daughter-and we all thought it was great fun.

Meryl Streep surprised me with her singing voice,Julie Walters was......Julie Walters(v.funny) and Pierce Brosnan can't hold a note but is still gorgeous!

[JACKIEC]

Seen the London show twice and the touring version in Manchester. Loved the London show but the Manchester one was even better:grin:

I saw the touring version in Manchester. It was such a brilliant night out, everyone was up out of their seats singing and dancing :spin:

Just bought the soundtrack cd in Tesco today

[georgemac]

Just bought the soundtrack cd in Tesco today

if that's from the film, much as I enjoyed the movie, not sure I would enjoy listening to the soundtrack as sung by the movie stars :)

I thought Julie Walters was outstanding in the film.

[jeanwales]

Just listened to it and must admit I love it - not the best voices, but great singalong type cd

[Lynn]

Saw it on Broadway last month and LOVED it:D

[jeanwales]

We can't wait till we see it there in November Lynn:)

As we're going down to Gatwick the night before the flight I've booked for us to see it in the West End bargain at £43 for the two of us. Tried a few years ago to get tickets and they were so expensive.

question now is do I see the film before the show or not???

Sally

[alexisemma31]

No, don't spoil it.

Gom and see the film, you will love it!!!:spin:

I keep thinking this - but I have decided to see the show first then either see the film or buy the DVD when it comes out.

[SamsCalling]

I saw the film at the weekend - absolutely loved it!!! :D :D :D

Can't beat a bit of cheese!!!! :pgig: :pgig:

[Diane]

Well I just got back from the cinema with Little Monkey and we loved loved loved it! We have both seen the show so we were clapping and singing along at the end but some of our audience were a bit older and rather po-faced about it all so we are going to go again and take our DD's as well, think we need to go mob-handed to get that audience out of their seats!! :D :D

Hi, saw the show in Las Vegas and it was brilliant. Took 10yr daughter to see film on saturday and she thought it was great. Would love to take her to see the stage show and as we are going to Florida on 6th August for 4 weeks would be a great night out.

How do you find out about the tickets?

Many thanks

Christine:wavey:

[robashmee]

Hi

If you go to Ticketmaster.com and type in Mamma Mia.

Don't select the touring option, just the normal Mamma Mia tickets. You will then see the Orlando dates, 12th to 17th August.
See you there:grin:

[Little Monkey]

Yes - having seen the stage show I can only re-iterate what others have said - go and see the movie!!:d:It was brilliant thoroughly enjoyed it..had a great laugh. As Diane said our audience were a little 'reserved' :rolleyes: (why dont people like to be seen having fun??)....it was packed out with all women bar a few 'brave' men:pgig:
I thought all the actors done really well especially Julie Walters but the men Colin Firth Piers Brosner etc done very well in parts they are not usually seen to be doing...
The scenery is stunning and I have already started doing a search on Google as a possible holiday destination. The film is going to do wonders for the Greek Tourist business!!!!:grin:

[griffl02]

DH and I are going to the cinema to watch it on Friday, I cant wait but I dont this DH is that keen.

[nmurray]

I also saw it in London and loved the muscial. Going to go to see the film next week, looking forward to it.

[debbie.wilkins]
