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

From: $9.97

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

Fun to listen to

I ordered this after seeing the movie knowing that it was not the sound track, but the original London cast recording. It's fun to listen to, reminds me of the movie, but the singing is more professional. Of course, many of the songs are...

Mama Mia

Excellent production!! The film version sound track faithfully reproduced
the ABBA music, but the cast singing was just acceptable. Unfortunately,
the CD cannot show the beautiful scenery/setting for the movie version. read full review | report as inappropriate

great soundtrack

If you love abba, you've got to own this soundtrack. It is a london production though, so the accent in the spoken parts bothers me a bit. Still, a great CD.

Fabulous!

Hands down-this CD doesn't disappoint. You know what you are getting, if you have seen the musical-but if you haven't-it's still a great purchase. Great music, great cast, just good music. I have seen the musical on broadway and am addicted to it.

Great CD

This is really a great CD. I really wasn't an ABBA fan when they were popular, but now I love this music. I've seen the play and the movie. A good CD to "move your butt" to!
