Mama Mia was delightful! Cathy, Rhonda, Pam, Cindy, Susie, and I all met at the Showcase Cinemas 53 for popcorn, soda, and a seaside romp on a Greek island with Meryl Streep, Colin Firth, and Pierce Brosnan among others. The costuming was elaborately 60-70's funk. Show tunes were so creatively choreographed that I couldn't stop laughing. I want to sing "Take a Chance on Me" while scaling the rooftops of an island chateau.

Actors' emotions came across well, but the singing was a bit stiff. We kept asking ourselves, "Does s/he sing? I didn't know they sang." Of course, most musical tunes are the easiest to sing even for beginners.

After the movie, we stopped at Kelly's Irish Pub for a couple of rounds and some catching up. It was great to see Cindy and Susie again.
