| - This is my third time seeing Mamma Mia!, the other two being in Toronto and San Francisco. Taking advantage of their summer specials, the Big F and I went to check it out a couple of weeks ago.
Since I was already familiar with the music and script, I was really looking forward to the stage set-up. I figure with it being a Vegas show, they would have really gone all out on the stage. I was wrong. It was very basic, and reminded me of a high school stage. I thought the props would be more artistic beyond what they did. Perhaps my expectations were too high, and that's why they fall short.
Sure, I enjoy the story, music, and entertainment of it all...it's just the Las Vegas production left me disappointed.
It's definitely a two hour plus show, which I think is a good thing. (I hate when productions are cut short 'cuz I feel jipped!) It's definitely not worth the price though!
The theater is actually smaller than I thought and the nose bleeder seats are really not that far back.
And if you have to use the restrooms during the intermission, leave the theater! They'll let you back in as long as you have your ticket and you won't be standing in that ridiculous line. This applies to the men as well.
Word is, it's their last summer in Vegas anyway. Just as well with the movie coming out soon!
