I totally forgot this was being made into a movie :eek: I wouldn't have remembered it hadn't they shown the trailer for it during the "Sweeney Todd" previews.
A little background on the story:
Mamma Mia collects a group of hit songs by the Swedish super group ABBA and shapes them around the story of a single mother coping with her young daughter's marriage on a picturesque Greek isle. While the daughter plans her future with the love of her life, her mother is haunted by three different men who may or may not be her daughter's father. Among the songs are such familiar '70s staples as “Dancing Queen,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” “S.O.S.,” “Take a Chance on Me” and “The Winner Takes It All.”
Mamma Mia! is my 4th favorite musical. I've seen it 3 times on the national tour, and it is just the most fun, most entertaining musical you will find out there. Think "Grease". Every show I've gone too, they've gotten standing ovations and during the three encores, EVERYONE is out of their seats and dancing.
Anyway, here are a couple of the movie trailers:
