So, we went to see Mamma Mia! last night at the Progress energy theater in Raleigh. What an experience!!! We bought some tickets at the Broadway Series South summer sale, where we got tickets to Mamma Mia, Rent, and Avenue Q for ridiculously reasonable prices.  Overall, the plot line is pretty thin and silly, and the ending is pretty questionable (it seems like the writer was like, oh, the show is about 2 hours now, let’s tie everything together with 3 lines!), but it’s still a fun show.  Especially enjoyable were the hot disco flash-backs with funky disco clothing.  I’m sure it would have been much appreciated back in our high school disco era.
The seats were also pretty decent for $25, you can’t really complain!  We’re going to see Rent this week.  From what I’ve read the story line is much more complicated and might actually require some listening instead of just grooving to ABBA tunes.   Note to self: study the synopsis this week.
