Mamma Mia! won't win any prizes for in-depth, philosophical story-telling, but its delightful mix of frothy, bouncy, romantic fun and disco/pop chart hits by ABBA make it a not-to-be-missed theatrical event.
The MAMMA MIA! North American Tour continues playing to record breaking houses all across North America. Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus' smash hit musical based on the songs of ABBA is returning to Dallas to play a limited engagement from May 29-31.
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.
Seen by over 45 million people around the world, Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus' global smash hit musical MAMMA MIA!, is celebrating over 4,000 performances in its tenth smash hit year at Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre and remains among Broadway's top selling musicals. The current North American Tour has played over 3,600 performances in over 135 cities with 145 repeat visits. BroadwayWorld's Audra Stafford was on the scene for the recent San Diego engagment and brings you an interview with 'Harry Bright' (Paul DeBoy) below!

The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis opens 2010 with a brilliant adaptation of director Alfred Hitchcock's classic of the silver screen, THE 39 STEPS. Patrick Barlow's script based on Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon's original conception (as well as John Buchan's novel and Hitchcock's amazing film) utilizes the services of a mere four actors to carry the action of this purposely convoluted plot, which not only requires a great deal of talent, but also a certain degree of speed in order pull off all of the tricky transitions that occur. This witty 'tour de farce' is a non-stop laugh riot, performed by a game and terrific cast that keeps the hilarity flowing from start to finish.
