Have A F-ABBA-ulous Evening At Mamma Mia!

Posted on
When you sit down to watch a show as successful as [**Mamma Mia**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/1017/Mamma-Mia-tickets.aspx), you know you're in for a treat- after all, the current run has been going for the past 18 years, and I can see it carrying on for many more!
[**Mamma Mia**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/1017/Mamma-Mia-tickets.aspx) must definitely be the most famous Jukebox Musical of all time. Featuring the awesome music from Abba, and a gorgeous storyline, I'm yet to meet somebody who hasn't heard of this feel good show. Now having never seen the musical before and being such a fan on the award winning movie (featuring Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan along many other star studded names), I didn't quite know what to expect, I mean, I love the music regardless but how would they compare? The reality is that they are totally different but each as loveable as the other. This is undeniably a feel good show and I definitely left the theatre knowing I'd had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The choreography was energetic and incredibly entertaining throughout, with each number being different to the one before. The entire cast were amazing! **Jemma Revell** and **Amy Webb** were fabulous as Ali and Lisa, and were a breath of fresh air every time they entered the stage! **Jennifer Hepburn** and **Mazz Murray** were easily the most entertaining characters throughout, with their fantastic comedic timing and superb acting and vocal abilities. For me, **Murray's** performance of 'Does Your Mother Know' was the highlight of the night! **Sanne Den Besten** was brilliant as Sophie and her duet with **Linzi Hateley** as Donna was heart wrenching! **Jonathon Bentley** was excellent as Sky, although I would have liked for his vocal abilities to be showcased more, as we were left wanting more after his brief duet with Sophie. **Filippo Coffano** and **Jake Small** as Pepper and Eddie were absolutely hilarious throughout and I looked forward to the scene every time they stepped on stage. I thought the idea of having the cast wait behind the set to help move it and take other pieces of set off was a very creative and original idea, however it was incredibly distracting seeing the odd limb pop out from behind a piece of scenery during a scene. All in all I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and everyone involved should be incredibly chuffed with the well deserved success of the show. If you are yet to see [**Mamma Mia**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/musical/1017/Mamma-Mia-tickets.aspx), I would definitely encourage you to go, and I promise you will have an utterly f-ABBA-ulous evening.
