The whole experience was fantastic from start to finish. I am 79 and severly sighted, the other 3 are in their 80s, with various levels of Disability. On arrival the staff were very helpful and accomodating[ I do wish there had beed a lift though !!] The Show it's self, was absolutly out of this world, and took me back to 1974. All I can say is. Thank for the Music, I took a chance on you Mama Mia, and you took me to my WATERLOO. [T'S A PITY MY NAME IS NOT FERNANDO.]

How could anyone not be dazzled by such a lively, beautifully performed, and danced show! We, too, find ourselves on that little Greek island alongside Sophie and Donna! ABBA’s songs haven’t aged a bit over the years. We go from bursts of laughter to moments of tenderness, affection, and even sorrow—all of which make this musical a true gem. It makes you want to come back and see it again to recharge with positive... and contagious energy.
