Mamma Mia...Here I Go Again!

What a great day today! It started off only ok since I couldn’t sleep so well and woke up early. I spent the morning studying for my art midterm. When heading to the exam, our train was delayed quite a bit, so most of the class was late. The exam wasn’t horrible, but I don’t know how wonderfully I did. I am finished with it, though, so I am happy!

After the exam, we headed back to the flat and hung out for a little bit. Then, Kinsey, Chelsey, Jordan, Amanda, and I headed out to the Mamma Mia theatre to get tickets and go out to dinner before our show. We went to a great Mexican place for dinner with a waitress who was a tiny bit clueless. It was a fun atmosphere and the food was tasty. After dinner, we went to see the show! It was kind of hilarious because there were a couple mishaps. First, the microphones were kind of off. It made me sad because my favorite songs were song on the bad mics. Oh well! Second mishap was during the middle of one of the songs with the three older lady friends. In the middle of the song, the main lady says something like “Sorry. We are going to have to stop for a minute. Technical difficulties” and walks off stage! We thought she was joking until stage hands came on stage and started moving things around. It was crazy!! After that, they fixed the problem (broken keyboard or something?) and continued on with the show.

I have to say, I found the cast of the show very ok and the singing also very ok. However, the acting was good and some of the supporting people were hilarious. On a whole, I laughed a whole lot and really enjoyed it. My favorite part was the end where they sang three additional songs (Mamma Mia again, Dancing Queen again, and Waterloo). The audience was standing and dancing – it was fantastic! I loved it!

After the show, we went to get Hagen Daas ice cream and then headed back to the flat. Everyone is getting ready to leave tomorrow for break, so everyone is busy, busy. It has been a great day today! What fun!
