El musical basado en las canciones de ABBA se estreno en el teatro Ópera Citi. Gran trabajo de Marisol Otero y un ensamble destacado.

It may not have the depth of a show like Jersey Boys, but it's easy to understand the appeal of a jukebox musical like MAMMA MIA!, especially when you consider just how tuneful the score is, overflowing with a couple dozen of ABBA's greatest hits. Besides, although the motion picture adaptation looked great (the countryside, not the grungy taverna), it came up empty in a lot of other ways, especially where the singing was concerned. So, seeing a production live is really your best bet at enjoying it to its fullest. The current touring show gracing the stage of the Fox Theatre is a splendid presentation, as engaging and charming as we've come to expect, and brimming with plenty of good humor.

Featuring the powerhouse vocals of an immensely talented cast, set against the visual artistry of Mark Thompson's production design, it becomes clearer with each performance that Phyllida Lloyd's direction remains relevant and fresh and that Anthony Van Laast's choreography is as clever and imaginative as the first time you saw it onstage. Clearly, this cast is completely committed to their performances - but more importantly, they are committed to ensuring their audiences have a wonderful time. After all these years, you know they could be just phoning it in, but instead they are performing their hearts out, delivering a theatrical experience that audiences can only cheer, their ovations growing ever louder and longer.

And, on a cold evening in February, it's setting in sunny Greece is a warm and welcome alternative to the weather outdoors. The current touring show gracing the stage of the Fox Theatre is a splendid production, as engaging and charming as we've come to expect, and brimming with enough good humor to act as a perfect remedy for the winter blues.
