Mamma Mia!

For our friends birthday, me and Cheyenne went to see Mamma Mia! with her and our other friend!

It was a dazzling and stunning performance and I would enjoy going to see it again if I got the chance.

The costumes were great, especially the sparkling ones and the wedding outfits and each actor portrayed their characters extremely well. My favourite costumes were probably the ones that Donna and her friends wore when they were performing because they were so sparkly and brightly coloured which made the scene even more enjoyable to watch.

The set was brilliant and I loved the way it would turn around at certain points of the play. The trees in the background gave it a nice touch and the blossom that fell down towards the end was extremely touching. The final scene was were Sophie and Sky walked across a bridge into the moon and this had to be one of my favourite scenes. The bridge rose up as they walked across it and pale smoke that was supposed to represent mist flew around their legs. The moon rose as they got closer which looked dazzling. Another one of my favourite scenes was the disco scene because of the dancing and all of the flashing lights. The set was very plain and only really had the wall in the background but the dancing and lights made up for that. The bridge was alos raised in this part too which was nice to see.

The songs were amazing and made me want to get up and dance myself when they came on! Abba has some amazing numbers and it was nice to see how they arranged the music to make a whole musical. My favourite song had to be "Mamma Mia!" or "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"

As I said before, the actors portrayed the characters superbly and I though that each were cast in a great way. hey all had different personalities which made the play even more interesting.

I truly enjoyed this performance and would recommend it to other people.
