It may not have the depth of a show like Jersey Boys, but it's easy to understand the appeal of a jukebox musical like MAMMA MIA!, especially when you consider just how tuneful the score is, overflowing with a couple dozen of ABBA's greatest hits. Besides, although the motion picture adaptation looked great (the countryside, not the grungy taverna), it came up empty in a lot of other ways, especially where the singing was concerned. So, seeing a production live is really your best bet at enjoying it to its fullest. The current touring show gracing the stage of the Fox Theatre is a splendid presentation, as engaging and charming as we've come to expect, and brimming with plenty of good humor.
