I enjoyed the show but it wasn't what I expected. I expected an ABBA tribute type show but its not at all. It's basically a play with ABBA words as a backdrop. Except for a few songs such as Dancing Queen, the words are the same but its more of a musac version, something that youd hear in an elevator.... More

I went to see Mamma Mia on Broadway last week. Lovely voices, lovely music that never grows old. Smart set decoration and bright costumes are sure to make for a very bright evening!

May not seem to be a big production, but the show is indeed quite exciting. Classic songs by ABBA are mostly performed sublimely, though the sound effect of the theater seems not so ideal. Some humorous elements might appear crude, but anyway quite entertaining. Overall enjoyed the show quite a lot.

I have seen many shows and lived in the city for a while, but I always seemed to skip over the tickets for Mamma Mia! This show should not be looked over! The acting was superb and the voices brought down the house! The music and storyline were perfect and entire night was memorable! Thank you!

To be honest, I was a little concerned about the location of my seats as I was towards the front (orchestra) and far right, but the energy of the show just explodes all over the theatre! I think you could be seated in the restroom and still feel the power of this show! Had a blast and can't wait to... More

I love musicals and have seen many over the years in the UK, so when we visited New York I wanted to see one on Broadway. We were able to get discounted tickets from the TKTS booth for the show. Having seen the film I knew I'd enjoy it and I did! This musical is one you go to see... More

The movie left me so up beat and I had always heard that the talent in the show made it so much better. But I didn't find that to be true. I enjoyed the movie much more than I enjoyed the show.
