I attended on opening night with my sister, who had seen Mamma Mia on its original tour. We were both just blown away by the talent of the cast, the quality of the sound, and the setting of the magnificent Ohio Theater. The character of Donna is the heart and soul of the show, and I cannot imagine any better Donna than Christine Sherrill. Her vocal power and her emotion when she delivered "The Winner Takes It All" was a showstopper, even if the huge ovation she received did not literally stop the show. The entire cast was wonderful throughout- Tanya (Jalynn Steele) , Sophie (Alisa Melendez), and Sam (Victor Wallace) especially. It was a privilege, and what a fun time--enjoying all of these great ABBA songs in this context. And a joyful and exuberant time was had by all --capped by all of us in the audience singing at the tops of our lungs at the end. Even the cast seemed like they were having as much fun as we were.

Wonderful casting of the actors! I enjoyed it more than the movie version. It had humor, as well as many touching scenes. The actors’ voices were so strong! Thank you, thank you to the cast for coming out after the finale and singing and dancing to a few of the songs!! We have never seen that in other musicals and they had the whole audience dancing and singing. What a fun time with our daughters!

It was really just a great show filled with great performances. Some real talent on that stage and folks who looked like they were genuinely having fun doing it! Wonderfully engaging. I really did laugh, cry, sing and dance in my seat all in a span of two hours. Thanks for a enjoyable night out with my girlfriends and our daughters!
