"ABBA dABBA dABBA dABBA dABBA dABBA dABBA"
said the chimpee to the monk.
All night long they chattered away.
All day long they were happy and gay,
swinging and swaying in a honky, tonky way.
-OK, so there were no Monkeys or Chimps.
-There wasn't so much chattering, but a whole lot of singing... on stage AND in the audience as well.
-There WERE a lot of Happy People, and YES, many many man of em were gay!
-And while there even some dancing in the audience (during the 'encore')... it was not of the Honky-Tonk variety, I can assure you!

So yea, I'll now go see other musical theatre, given the chance, but I'll likely stick with the comedic and campy... cause well, that's how I roll.
It was enjoyable the whole way though. The cast for the most part I thought excellent... although there seemed times when you couldn't really hear em that well... but then I knew all the songs so no big whoop! I was singing in my head... and yes, sometimes out loud too! :-) My two favourite characters would have to be the Australian and The Mother's 'fat friend" (aka Bill Austin and Rosie) and during the curtain calls it was these two, in particular "Rosie" that got THE audience's loudest recognition. I don't know what it is, but the 'fat chick' always gets the best lines! ...and in this case also the best man! ;-)
And here's another shocker, I'd go see it again!
Misster-Kitty gives Mamma Mia 10 furballs outta 10!
