Little did i know that the Mamma Mia musical play was a hit at the Clyde Auditorium Glasgow until 16 of us attended the final night of the play..
Mamma Mia is a contemporary and whimsically comical play which exploits an essence of romance... The cool thing about this play is that it is interwoven from the ABBA group's songbook, and none of the story plots has anything to do with the group itself!
A little review of the recent Mamma Mia musical play in Glasgow:
Cast : Awesome acting and singing skills. i love Donna's character in particular!
Songs : What more can i say about ABBA's songs? :) I especially fancy the song "Thank you for the music"!
Orchestra : hmm. i noticed only a few stringed instruments and some musical keyboards. not a very extensive orchestra, yet the music and the songs were beautifully delivered. perhaps it's a touring musical, so i'm sure the Mamma Mia theatre in London offers an extremely good one!
Plot : Funny, romantic, catchy, ironic??. But i personally think mamma mia is not entirely about the plot, rather its songs!
Setting : hmm, rather mundane despite a pretty mythical Greek island.
Venue : SECC Clyde Auditorium is an amazing venue to hold plays like this. Apart from the long queue at the washrooms and the cafeteria, it was all good!
Before the play...
At a bridge which reminds me of the Penang jetty!
And some candids...
And... after the play... That's the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (SECC) Clyde Auditorium at the background!
