Mama Mia, Here We Go Again!
It’s always fun to go to the theatre. I must admit going out with KK has been more challenging due to her autism and ADHD.
I find it hard to stay calm and not tell her to stop! Doing things that will attract unwanted attention from people.
Over the years, I’ve had horrid comments and stares.
Relax?
So, being with Lou and Hope, I feel a little more relaxed given it’s a special performance for people not to hide their quirks.
The show started with introductions of who was playing what part, which was a fantastic extra step.
The stage was brightly lit and filled with laughter as Keira sang along to the tunes.
She had a great time and wanted to see if there was more at the end. This cast was different from the one I had seen many moons ago.
But it was still good to keep the story running, and I had a lot of giggles along the way.
Shows that you can be a strong, independent woman and have love after loss, a very endearing and touching storyline that shows sisterhood as a strong bond.
A lot can be learned from Mamma Mia; one thing is for sure: looking in diaries, unless allowed, can lead to a very hard lesson . . . !
Overall I would give Mama Mia 4/5 stars.
