"A Mother
A Daughter
Three Possible Dads
And a trip down the aisle that you'll never forget!"

It
was such a wonderful experience and a dream come true when I was officially counted as one
of more than 50 million people who have seen the world's smash hit Mamma Mia! now being staged live in Manila. My sister Ruth
invited me to join her in the Premiere Night last January 24 at the
Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP.) She was invited by the PR of
Concertus, Inc (one of the companies who also brought Cats in Manila last year.)

We're both ABBA fans! Thanks for sharing your extra VIP ticket with me :) |
A-W-E-S-O-M-E show indeed! From the very talented cast, simple yet true to life production set, gorgeous men (especially Sky), well-choreographed numbers, funny scenes (Rosie is the best!) to the greatest hit songs of ABBA. The cast deserved the standing ovation from the audience. From our seats on the 3rd row, we can't help but sing and dance during the finale. They performed Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen and Waterloo. What a great great night to remember!!!
I am sharing official photos from the Press Kit given to my sister when she was invited to attend the press con at Dusit Thani where she met some of the cast of Mamma Mia. You can read her blog here. I have asked her permission to use them in my own blog. No copyright infringement intended.

"Thank you for the music, the songs I'm singing
Thanks for all the joy they're bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me"

I've been able to watch a number of musicals in the past but I can say that Mamma Mia! is my most favorite of them all.
On my next post I will share how my "love affair" with musicals started :)
Aliw ang video ni Belle! Singer na talaga noon pa :)
