Mamma Mia:Where Did it All Go Right?

Thirty two million people in 30 countries have paid to watch the stage show, the movie is the biggest grossing cinema release and fastest selling DVD in the UK. The success of Mamma Mia is extraordinary. But what makes it the massive hit it is? What kind of magic lurks within the 22 Abba songs that form the show’s soundtrack? Why do they grab the hearts of not only the nostalgic generation who loved them first time round, but also the hearts of young girls hearing the music for the first time? And then there’s the synergy between the songs and story, creating a wave of emotion that grabs both young and old – but almost exclusively female. And who would have foreseen a musical starring Meryl Streep and James Bond star Pierce Brosnan? Mamma Mia: Where Did It All Go Right?
