Album Notes MAMMA MIA is a musical based on the songs of ABBA. Music and lyrics composed and written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus. Principal cast: Lisa Stokke (Sophie Sheridan); Eliza Lumley (Ali); Melissa Gibson (Lisa); Siobhan McCarthy (Donna Sheridan); Louise Plowright (Tanya); Jenny Galloway (Rosie); Andrew Langtree (Sky); Neal Wright (Pepper); Nigel Harman (Eddie); Paul Clarkson (Harry Bright); Nicolas Colicos (Bill Austin); Hilton McRae (Sam Carmichael); Tom Magdich (Father Alexandrios). MAMMA MIA! was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Culled from the smash hit London, Toronto, and Broadway musical of the same name, MAMMA MIA is a treasure trove of ABBA hits penned by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, who are also the guiding force behind said production. The theatrical versions of these classics have been reworked somewhat, and the album also includes some pieces not from the original ABBA catalog, but in the main this is a fun workout from the oeuvre of Sweden's biggest export since Volvo cars. While it's a little disorienting to hear familiar songs like these in unfamiliar orchestral settings, the material is strong enough to withstand the reworking it undergoes here. The result is an enjoyable memento of what should prove to be a long-running and popular production. | Find errors in the product description? Submit a catalog update request now. | ||||||||||||

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!!

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. Review ID: 10000000007436455 Was this review helpful? Report this review Very good CD.
