Truth be told, I'm an 80s kid and until Mamma Mia came to my city, part of the US Tour, I had never really heard of ABBA ::gasp:: After seeing the performance there were a couple songs that I had recognized - I just didn't know they were ABBA songs.
After the musical I bought the soundtrack in the lobby - ripped it out of the packaging, ran to my car and popped it in the CD player. The songs on the CD are in order as it is performed on stage - and even without seeing it live you can still follow the basis of the storyline from this soundtrack and before you know it you will be shaking your hips, nodding your head and trying to dance like John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.
Some of my favorite songs on this CD include:
> Honey, Honey
> Thank You For the Music
> Mamma Mia
> Dancing Queen
> The Name of the Game
> Voulez-Vous
> Under Attack
> S.O.S.
> Does Your Mother Know
> Our Last Summer
Eh... I just love the entire thing!
If you like ABBA - musicals - or the 70s you are going to LOVE this soundtrack and if you are like me - this CD will have you going to your parents house and searching in the attic pulling out the platform shoes and leisure suits!!
Purchased 1 CD for my granddaughter and and one for me. We had seen the show on Broadway, and this was a way to enjoy that day again. If you like a happy beat and lovely harmonies (Abba fans take note), you'll be well pleased with Mamma Mia album. Show storyline NOT appropriate for a 9 year-old, but the CD is pleasant listening.
I grew up with the music of ABBA but it wasn't until I saw a live production of Mamma Mia, that I fell in love with this CD. The music is up beat, toe tapping and just plain fun. Every time I play this, I visualize the fun and the excitement of this feel good musical. I actually bought this for a friend that has never seen Mamma Mia, but she and I have tickets to see the stage version in 2009. In the mean time, I thoroughly enjoy cranking up the volume on the CD player and not being able to sit still, (even while I'm driving)for the next hour.
I saw this play in Nashville TN in June and knew I wanted to get the musical score. I am delighted with the original cast recording. The one thing I would have changed about the recording is on a few songs the music overpowers the singing. I believe this is because the CD was done live during a performance, not is a sound studio.
Other than this minor "flaw" I love the CD because it reminds me of the energy and flow of the play. I see the actions as I hear the music. Plus now I can sing along with the songs which I could only "think along" with during the play.
I highly recommend this CD if you want to revisit your memories from watching the play. I would give this as a gift to someone I knew saw the play. If you didn't see the play they are still good songs, I just think those who saw the play will enjoy the CD better.
The reason I bought this CD is we had just come back from seeing Mama Mia and I fell in love with the music all over again. I love popping it into the cd player in our car and singing as loud as I can (with the windows closed). When I bought it I didnt know it was the English cast, but who cares! I love it and if you are an Abba fan, or even if your not you will enjoy hearing these songs. A real blast from the past.
