When attending a jukebox musical, it's expected that the best part of the show will likely be the cherished songs and vocals. MAMMA MIA showcases music and lyrics by ABBA's Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus, and a book by Catherine Johnson that is predictably a bit surface-level and 'cheesy', for lack of a better word. Of course, this effect is almost expected when adapting a collection of an artist's songs for the stage, and cheesy can be wonderful. However, there is a way to stage a cheesy musical without seeming inauthentic. There were moments in Theatre Under the Stars' MAMMA MIA that worked, and some that didn't.
It's time to break out all the glitter because Mark Price, who plays Harry Bright in The Theatre Under the Stars production of Mamma Mia is taking over the BroadwayWorld Instagram Story tomorrow! Make sure to tune in to see all of the dancing and jiving that goes into the show's opening night! My my, how can you resist it?!
