1. My wife and daughter are very excited about this.
My wife saw the stage show twice, and my daughter (9 years old) is a huge ABBA fan.

I went with my wife for one of the two shows that she saw, and I thought it was great fun (we went out and bought "ABBA Gold" the very next day). :)

3. I saw the show twice, too
I had NO interest in seeing it the first time - but my ex was really into ABBA so we went. I enjoyed the show so much, I went to see it again the next time it came through town. It was a real surprise.

4. My same experience! (except about your ex)
But there are so many stars in the movie; will they actually be singing? It didn't look like it from the trailer.

7. Now, I'm a little worried. Are they dubbing?
Meryl and Pierce are not known for their voices.... :scared:

10. I'm from Minnesota, and I've never seen it! As I look at my soundtrack, it appears

that Streep would only be singing "Money, money, money" solo, which is doable I suppose. I'm glad, though, that lead isn't a "face". Unless it was Emma Rossum. She has it all. Hubba.

Edit: Looks like She'll sing "Take a chance on me" as well.....

2. There are only two movies I want to see this summer.
"Mama Mia!" and the "Sex in the City" movie.

Basically, I only want to see the two gayest movies coming out this summer.

5. Mama Mia, the play, made an ABBA fan out of me. --
I hope the movie is as good as the play :D

8. I will make sure I am far away as possible. Thanks.
There are three true horrors in society. Genocide, nuclear holocaust, and ABBA music. I'm still debating which is worst.
