No, I'm not harping about the movie version despite a star-studded cast. In fact, I didn't even last 15 minutes into the movie. Why? They are NOT specifically trained for Broadway, so no surprises what the outcome would be. =P
This one, I have to say, struck the jackpot. =) When revealed that Mamma Mia The Musical is finally performing in Malaysia between 17 Dec 08 - 1 Jan 09, Dad quickly jumped at the opportunity, securing 5 tickets for the 27th Dec play. The seats were pretty on the ex side, but for such an astounding show....it was worth the expenses. XD As for the story, it is essentially about a young girl's quest to discover who her biological father is. One thing led to another when she found her mother's diary, resulting in three potential Dads arriving on site. The end-results were nothing short of hilarious and heart-felt.
A portion of the international crew that performed in Kuala Lumpur recently. Taken from TheStar, by the way. Unfortunately this is also the ONLY picture I have of the crew. =( So to make up for the "loss", subsequent pics are of the London troupe. =P (The backdrops, costumes and choreography are similar anyway!!!) Pics taken from www.mamma-mia.com: 
The mother of the bride and her two besties, belting out Super Trooper. 
The three Dads upon arrival. No prizes for guessing who the Aussie is.... =P 
The bride-to-be and her gals, on hens' night. 
The groom and boys, all (almost) ready to fish some pearls. 
One amazing piece of work mid-air. The fellow (on night of the KL musical) simply jumped from the ground and did this 180 degree split, without breaking a sweat. Thankfully his shorts weren't too tight. =P All in all, a great show. Makes me wanna slip into some 1970's hotpants and do the boogie big time...
