LOVED (MOST) OF THE LITTLE CHANGES
Yes, they've tweaked a few of the numbers, but the changes are great for the most part and the story line is still intact. Sophie's voice is fantastic (can't wait to see more), and Donna's is good, albeit a bit theatrically stiff at times. Donna's friends are great singers (one channels Tina Turner in one of her ABBA songs and it works!), but the guys are so- so. All in all its a great romp, I laughed more than the first time I saw it years ago, and, not surprisingly, it's 100x better than the movie which was horribly cast.

MAMMA MIA - INCREDIBLE MUSIC AND ACTRESSES (AND SOME GUYS)
Saw performance three in the run and it’s a show of great belly laughs, emotional highs, gotta-dance-music...and three guys. The casting for Sophie, Donna, Tanya and Rosie is spot on, the men and women of the chorus sing and dance with enough energy to power the city in a blackout, Sky is a fair singer and decent actor, but the three “dads”...lord help us! Bill, the intrepid adventurer, is played as a slightly doughy buffoon, but at least can hold the stage when required - skilled performer but wrong for the character. Harry could sing and seemed like a reasonable character fit but if the actor is going to attempt an English accent he needs to choose a region of the British Isles and stick with it. And Sam. He knew his lines, that’s the height of his performance. The actor looked like an awkward 30 year-old and moved around the stage with the emotional range of a lamp post. Consequently the scenes with Donna fall flat no matter how much she tries. Female leads 5 stars, Male 2 stars.

FUN SHOW, SOME GOOD SINGING
the 5th Avenue's production of Mamma Mia was fun, but definitely a disappointment for the amount of money spent. Donna's two friends are amazing, some singers are above average, and some are just not good - especially most of the guys. The choreography was a bit high-school musicalish, but it was fun. There is a little sing along at the end that is lively and definitely worth staying for. The great thing about the 5th Avenue Theater is that most seats are good. You can sit in the back and see well. This show is not for younger kids because there are a fair amount of sexual innuendos and gestures.
