Has anyone seen the movie Mamma Mia AND the play? And what'd you think of it? Which did you see first?

Question

I saw the movie and fell in love with it. Now I'm going to go see the play next week and I'm about to burst.

Answer 1

I saw the Mamma Mia! stage production a few years ago and I loved it. I've been an ABBA fan my whole life and watching the songs come to life is amazing. I have also seen the film (three times) and I love it too. They are very different, but each is so entertaining in it's own right that I don't prefer one over the other. I am sure you will really enjoy the play after seeing the movie because there are so many more songs in the play. Plus the fact that it's live before your eyes adds to the excitement. Have fun...I'm a little jealous :)

Answer 2

I saw the stage show first and it was a blast. I was a little disappointed with the movie (although I thought Meryl Streep was awesome). I hated that they cut so many songs in the movie. I had a fun time watching it with my friends, but it doesn't even compare to how good the musical is.

Answer 3

I watched the play in Las Vegas . . . feel in love with it. Also enjoyed the movie. What a stellar cast.
