Mamma mia!

Mamma mia here we go again
My my how can I resist you...

Last night Kris and I went to the musical Mamma Mia in Utrecht. I've been longing to see this musical everytime we go to London. But it is always sold out there and the ticket price is quite high, aound 62 pounds per ticket around 87 euro..pphheewww..it always ended up by watching another musical which we never regret at all. One day I said to Kris, I don't care if it's in Dutch I still wanna see Mamma Mia.
Fortunately, the show is not as expensive as in London. It costs 65 euro including return ticket with the train 1st class, a drink and a free magazine, oh yeah, discount 20% extra if you want to buy some memorabilia.


So there were we, in Beatrix Theater Utrecht, last night enjoying the show. The show was really great, even though I didn't completely understand the whole conversation but I still could enjoy and 'go with the flow' even bursted into tears..oh..well..it's kind of a musical comedy anyway..so laugh is a part of the joy :-) What I like also from the last night show was the seat we had. I sat directly behind the keyboard player from the band and the stage was not even 1 meter away from me..wow!..That was the best seat I've ever had so far in the musical. I thought sitting in the 16th row when watching Saturday Night Fever in London was the best, but this one topped that :-D

The musical is created by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson from the ABBA group. The show is full of ABBA songs, from mamma mia, dancing queen, chiquitita and many more Yeah..yeah..I know their songs are all in the past but still they're so delightful, if i might say. When hearing the dancing queen, i felt my heart, my legs and my arms were following the beats..

You can dance
You can jive
Having the time of your life
Oohh..Oohh..
See that girl
Watch that scene
Diggin' the dancing queen

Yes, it was a good performance with some funny sketches. I especially loved the end when we all got an extra performance of Donna & the Dynamos.
