The show was incredible. I was there with my mom—we’re French, so we didn’t understand everything, but we remembered the scenes and the songs, and all the actors performed so well—it was wonderful to see it in person. Plus, from my seat, I had a view of the musicians—I didn’t even realize they were live musicians—and that was awesome too. let’s just say that the view of the musicians was the biggest perk of my seat because to see the stage I had to lean way forward—it got really uncomfortable. It’s a shame to sell seats at that price where you can’t see the whole stage.

Attending Mamma Mia! in the heart of London’s West End is an exhilarating experience that transforms a simple night at the theatre into an explosion of pure energy and nostalgia. From the very first notes of ABBA's legendary songs, the atmosphere inside the Novello Theatre warms up instantly. The stage design, minimal yet remarkably effective, effortlessly transports the audience straight to the sun-drenched, colorful setting of a Greek island.

I've seen Mamma Mia close to 4 or 5 times. I always enjoy it. This performance was splendid as well. The only criticism I could nitpick at is the casting of Sophie. Ellie Kingdon, I believe played 20 year old Sophie, but I felt she was too old for the part. No complaints on her acting or singing. She did a great job, she doesn't seem to fit the role of a 20 year old, innocent and slightly naive "teenager". She appeared a fully grown adult woman and that detracted a little from the performance. Again, just nitpicking here. Everybody did a stellar job. I can watch this play over and over and over again.
