Put together by Abba's own Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Mamma Mia! manages to cram over 20 of the Swedish supergroup's songs into a threadbare plot. It goes a little like this: Young Sophie is getting married and she's trying to identify which of three men is her father. That's about it. Wisely, the musical doesn't mess around with the songs, save for the insertion of some dialogue or for having some of them performed by a man (it works amazingly well). Abba fans will jump on this import of the London production, but traditional fans of musical theater should consider it as well. After all, Andersson and Ulvaeus's songs have always felt as if they were more than isolated pop gems and actually belonged to a longer narrative. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars Mamma Mia.......2007-03-22

I have not stopped playing this cd. It is just great! It makes any trip in my car most enjoyable Happy I bought it!

5 out of 5 stars Mamma Mia Musical CD.......2007-03-21

This is a grand list of songs from the original musical when it was first introduced in England. The songs from ABBA are very recognizable even if you haven't seen the show. But, making a trip to NY to see the Broadway production is a plus. ENJOY!

4 out of 5 stars JUST GREAT MUSIC.......2007-03-08

I RECENTLY SAW THE SHOW MAMMA MIA IN LAS VEGAS. ALWAYS LIKES THE MUSIC OF ABBA, AND THOUGH THE PLOT WAS THIN, THE MUSIC WAS WELL PERFORMED. IN THIS PARTICULAR ALBUM, THE ENGLISH ACCENTS WERE A BIT MUCH, BUT THE SONGS WERE GREAT. ALL I CAN SAY IS THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC, ABBA.

5 out of 5 stars Mamma Mia.......2007-01-29

Every time I hear the music and songs it brings back memories of seeing the Broadway Show

1 out of 5 stars Not good at all.......2007-01-09

This is not what we wanted. The British accents throw it was off. We just saw it in NY and this is not what we were looking for.

5 out of 5 stars The Most Amazing CD and DVD!!.......2007-05-06

I just saw "Mamma Mia! in Las Vegas and couldn't wait to buy this CD. The songs are done well and put me right back in the 3rd row, center of the theater and the DVD was an added little bonus!

5 out of 5 stars Skip The Rest! This Is The Mamma Mia Offering You Want........2007-04-12

What separates this Mamma Mia offering from all the others are the following:

1. I found the sound quality of the songs to be better on this CD than on other Mamma Mia CD's that don't have the three finale songs.

2. This CD has the three finale songs included: (Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, and Waterloo). Another CD may have the three finale songs included, but it doesn't have the DVD.

3. This offering has a DVD included. Included on the DVD is the history of the making of Mamma Mia (approximately 15 minutes). It also shows song numbers being performed in other countries in various languages. The DVD also shows the two main Broadway performers telling of their experiences in the play. The two remaining parts of the DVD show the songs Money Money Money and Dancing Queen performed as they appeared when the play first opened in London. If you want one Mamma Mia offering this is the one to get. Even if you already have one I would definitely include this one in your collection as well. I've ordered several of these copies (I'd be embarrassed to say how many) and plan on ordering another batch for members of my music class in grades 4-8 as a gift. Treat yourself! It's worth it.

5 out of 5 stars "Mamma Mia" is right!.......2007-05-18

I haven't yet gotten to see the musical (going to see it in Vegas this summer!), so this review is strictly for the CD. I have to say, it's an amazing CD. I've only known two ABBA songs (and I didn't even know who they were when I first heard the songs...heh), Mamma Mia and Dancing Queen and it's quite surprising to find myself loving all the songs on this album as I'm not one for "older" music. I must say that there are some really strong female singers on this album. All in all this is just fun music that everyone can enjoy from young to old (even if you haven't seen the musical, like myself).

I would highly recommend this album to any and every one! This CD is constantly playing on my MP3 player!

5 out of 5 stars A Stiff Price, But Worth It.......2007-03-12

If you are going to get a CD of the Mamma Mia musical this is the one to buy. I know the price is stiff, but, at least to me, it is worth it. I have played it several times and never get tired of it. In addition, it includes an encore rendition of the songs Mamma Mia, Dancing Queen, and an initial rendition of Waterloo. You can buy cheaper CD's of the Mamma Mia musical, but these ABBA songs are worth paying a little more to get the best version that is available for sale.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful music !.......2007-02-10

We went to N.Y. this summer and saw Mama Mia and wanted the Sound track -
it is GREAT !!!

5 out of 5 stars MAMA MIA.......2007-02-08

I WAS FORTANUATE ENOUGH TO SEE THIS SHOW LIVE IN LAS VEGAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. I REALLY ENJOYED IT, AND ESPECIALL THE MUSIC. I ALWAYS WANTED TO OWN THE WONDERFUL ABBA SOUNDTRACK, AND NOW I DO. MANY THANKS.

5 out of 5 stars MAMA MIA REVIEW.......2007-01-19

This is a wonderful album! It is fun and recreates the Broadway musical right in your living room! AWESOME!

I was surprised that this production was in German. Should have read the description more carefully. My bad. But, since I love Abba's music, even in German, it's a keeper.
