| - You have got to be kidding me!
I guess I understand why this show stays open. It's all about the music. Everyone seems to friggin' love ABBA. But what is this musical about really.....I'll tell you what it's about....it's about an hour and an half of my life I'll never get back....NEVER! Maybe that's a little harsh, the music isn't bad, but my 3 year old nephew Milo could have written a better script and he has yet to learn the alphabet, just little scribbles. (so cute.)
That being said.......even though I don't get it. It's a crowd pleaser. It's a story about a girl who's getting married and wants her dad, whom she's never met, to walk her down the aisle. Problem is there are 3 possible father's.....looks like Mamma got around. And Mamma, well she owns a Taverna and needs "Money, Money, Money" (yup, that's how they use the songs, thank god ABBA didn't write a tune about using the toilet, I'm sure they would'a found a way to use that too.) There you have it....you either like or you don't. I didn't. I would sooner send you to the Rio's Show In The Sky, it's free and they throw beads in your face, instead of implausible plot points....I don't know which hurts more though.
