Mamma Mia! The Musical Based on the Songs of ABBA: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Recording (1999 London Cast)

Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Oct-18-2008; Relive the Magic; If you've only seen the movie version of Mamma Mia, you're in for a treat, as this recording features 24 songs (much more than was featured in the film) all sung beautifully by the 1999 London cast.; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jun-14-2005; Great Show! Ok CD; I recently saw a production of the show at the Mandalay Bay in Veagas. The show was one of the sweetest things I have ever seen and, at the end, most of the crowd was dancing in the aisles. While the Veagas show had better vocies, this...; read full review | report as inappropriate

1/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Apr-06-2006; Don't be an idiot- do not buy this.; This cd is stupid. Going to see Mama Mia is one thing. It's fun. But why the hell would you want to listen to the cast singing ABBA songs instead of just getting The Definitive Collection or ABBA GOLD? Don't waste your money on this...; read full review | report as inappropriate
