Mamma Mia / Las Vegas : 4 of 5
4.08.2006 8:22 AM \| Link	I decided my parents and I should see a different show each night for our recent Las Vegas trip, and since I know they love Broadway productions, I thought Mamma Mia would be a good choice, since I enjoyed it when it came to Austin. Mom & Dad initially couldn't think of any ABBA songs except for Dancing Queen, but I knew they would remember many more once they heard them in the show, and they did! Since I bought the tickets so far in advance, we were able to snag first row - it made it really wonderful to see the performers' faces, as well as the musicians and the director (which Dad really enjoyed). The show was fantastic - I thought that Sophie was incredibly cute (complete with dimples), even though her voice wasn't so fantastic (but still good). Donna (the mother) had the best voice of all, and was really able to sing with emotion on The Winner Takes It All. We ended up sitting next to a Mamma Mia "groupie" - she said she had seen the show over 200 times, and she knew everyone in the cast! I was surprised that at the end of the show during the Dancing Queen reprise, the Las Vegas audience was too lazy to get up and dance a little - in Austin the whole theater was up on their feet! Oh well, it was still a show full of energy and a ton of fun! Labels: arts
