Hi Huneybees,
Remembering back then, it was the end of exams and us girls all gathered in the school's hall to watch the movie - Mamma Mia, to celebrate the end of school terms. We stashed all our textbooks aside and enjoyed the movie with lightened hearts. We fell in love with the idea of falling in love, getting swept off our feet and even the lovely friendship between the female lead - Donna, and her friends - wisecracking author Rosie Mulligan and wealthy multiple divorcée Tanya Chesham-Leigh. We even had the idea of growing old together and gathering in times of happiness, just like the characters!
"MAMMA MIA!" - a story about Love, Friendship and Ambitions, surrounding the beautiful tunes of the 70's iconic ABBA songs like "I Have A Dream", "Money, Money, Money", "Dancing Queen" and "Mamma Mia"; was actually based on a musical of same name back in 1999.
And now Singapore has the pleasure of catching the musical back on its second run, telling the story of Sophie as she prepares to get married at a young age of twenty, she decides she wants to know who her father is, and so invites the three potential men from her mother’s past through her diary to the wedding in the Greek islands, unbeknownst to her mother Donna. Being a jukebox musical, the characters break into a slew of ABBA’s best and most iconic songs.
This is one of the happiest, sunshine musical I've seen before, and it was so meaningful to have caught it with my BFF. The flamboyant costumes complete with platform boots wide-legged pants, and glitter, paired witha good mix of slapstick and sexual innuendos got us tickled pink and laughing through the night.
We walked out dancing and singing to the tunes, speaking of so much childhood memories. I bet girls, ladies of all ages would love this musical as much as us and even the guys too! It was definitely a first for me to see the audience dancing and singing to the tunes all the way till the curtain call "encores".
I'm happy that I finally caught this musical and soaked up some of the ABBA vibes with this feel good performance. So, do catch MAMMA MIA! before it ends this 18 November at Marina Bay Sands. You can get tickets here.
