MAMMA MIA! Broadway production will close in September after being performed 5.765 times during 14 years. It will have grossed 600 million dollars by then. MM! is 8th longest running show on Broadway. Here is the story in English www.ew.com/article/2015/04/09/mamma-mia-close-broadway |

So sad for me as this is the show that led to me becoming an Abba fan. Think how many new audiences were exposed to their music through this. Think how many people like me who knew enough Abba songs to count on one hand saw this and wanted to know more after they left. Even now when I listen to the soundtrack, I remember the joy ond color of it. But I guess all things must end (especially Broadway shows. 14 years is an eternity). I'm glad I saw it when I did. Maybe I'll see it somewhere else one day, knowing all the songs this time.  |

M_Wilson only the Broadway play is closing not the the little tours that are still out there touring cities all over the USA. Oh, I know. I guess I'm just being sentimental because the big Broadway one, which started this whole thing for me, will soon be gone. That was the steady production, always there for whenever I was ready to go back. Oh well. I would like to see a different production of it. We'll see if that tour comes anywhere nearby. Thanks, Monica! |

Okay M_Wilson, I understand the sentiment towards it being on Broadway.
