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

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5
1) Mamma Mia! [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Excellent CD, lively music with original cast. This CD is just what I was looking for, at an outstanding price.2) Mamma Mia! (Abba musical) [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Mamma Mia! is billed as The World's No. 1 Show. Catherine Johnson took 20 ABBA songs and wrote a mother/daughter story around them. Her story is appropriate as women's issues are a major theme of songwriters Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Detractors call Mamma Mia! a jukebox musical. If nothing else, it is a means of perpetuating the ABBA catalog, a body of 110 songs which surpasses The Beatles in quality. Indeed, ABBA was the Swedish Fab Four. Mamma Mia! stays on tour, and it has a permanent home in Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay. It is refreshing to see a musical whose every song is a recognizable hit. Dancing Queen, Take A Chance On Me and Waterloo transport us back to the 1970s, that halcyon interlude between Vietnam and the War on Terror. We will never relive that period, but Mamma Mia! offers an over-the-shoulder glimpse.3) Mamma Mia! CD [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Mamma Mia! The Musical Based on the Songs of ABBA: A Decca Broadway Original Cast Recording (1999 London Cast) Saw this live in Vegas. The CD really takes me back!4) Audio Treat [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I like the Mama Mia versions better than the original ABBA! The only thing the ABBA versions have better are their nice foreign accents. Both are great, but I give Mama Mia the edge. If you loved ABBA, you'll love this.5) mamma mia cd [Rating: 5 out of 5]
