Mamma Mia Press Meet Stills
MAMMA MIA!
A TRULY ORIGINAL MUSICAL
It was on March 23rd 1999 that the musical Mamma Mia! Met its first and most crucial test when it was put in from of its first ever paying audience in London-and was given the kind f welcome it has been getting ever since, every night at every one of the many productions that have since followed. But that early spring evening in London “we really had no idea how it would be received” reflects the producer Judy Craymer whose initial concept, exactly a decade earlier, had been use existing ABBA songs to an original musical. But happily she remembers “The audience went wild. They were literally out of their eats singing and dancing in the aisles- and they still are every night”
And now, they are doing so all around the world. It has become a global entertainment phenomenon.
Craymer notes “I am delighted that Mamma Mia’s success was a result of a collaboration of three women, but there was no discrimination of men intended” The secret of the shows success however is that it’s not just the creators who see themselves on stage, but also the audiences too.
Mamma Mia! Is a sophisticated, but not pretentious musical that re-introduces the familiarity of a pop idiom-with songs that people already know and love.
And till this very day the saga continues entertaining millions around the world.
