I
had the most perfect Tuesday night. It was Mama Mia’s first night on stage at
the CCP.
I
am still high from the Katy Perry concert. I am still singing Firework. But
last night, I added another repertoire in my “bathroom concert”, Thank You for
the Music (one of my favorite songs from Abba).

Everyone
must have seen the Mama Mia movie, with Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried as
lead stars. Everyone must be familiar with Abba. Everyone knows at least one
song from Abba, and chances are, Dancing Queen will be on top of the list.

The
story is about a mother, a daughter, and 3 possible dads.
Set
on a Greek island, visited by 3 men 20 years ago, these men met Donna Sheridan
on separate occasions, and dot dot dot…. =)
Sophie
Sheridan invited these men to her wedding, in her quest to discover the
identity of her father. And so scenes of love, laughter and friendship unfolded
thereafter.

Backed by classic songs from Abba, one
couldn’t help but sing along with the cast (mentally though). It was soothing
to hear the opening song (I Had A Dream)… the actress had that angelic voice, I
was really captivated.
The
scenes featuring the songs Chiquitita, Dancing Queen and Take a Chance On Me
were wonderful.
If
you enjoyed the movie, you will also enjoy the play. It’s totally different
watching it live.
Picture
taking was not allowed. I so want to sneak some shots, just like what the
person in front of me did. Unfortunately, he was caught, and was asked to erase
the photo.
The
show started on time, and ended after 2 1/2hours (with a 20-minute break).
Mama
Mia souvenir items were being sold in the lobby, like shirts, pens and ref
magnets. Program souvenirs were also available for 500p.
The
CCP was full to the brim. A mixture of young and old can be observed from the
crowd.
And
of course, I watched it wearing for the 4th time my Travelling
Dress.
The
Mama Mia International Tour will be performing at the CCP Theater until 19
February 2012.
