mama mia!!

as a kid i was a huge abba fan. i loved the song dancing queen. a few years ago i even saw fake abba at the brighton beach summer music series.
i saw the musical mama mia on broadway about a year ago. the plot was weak,very my two dads , but i loved seeing the abba songs live. it was like the soundtrack was the lead cast member.
when i saw ads for the musical being turned in to a movie i was skeptical . though i enjoyed the movie i had a right to be skeptical. the island the movie was filmed on didnt match the plot. the play was very white bread, but the movie was very ethnic.in the play, the sets werent that great but the music took over. in the movie the music played a supporting role.
if one has seen the play its fun to see the movie even though it is a cheap imitation of the play.
