The story-telling magic of ABBA's timeless songs propels this enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, creating an unforgettable show.
"Rainbow Stage offers glorious Greek getaway in Mamma Mia
Sharp dancing and strong singing of ensemble cast give Mamma Mia fun, silly sexiness. Rainbow Stage has a hit on their hands with this Abba lovefest. The dancing is sharp and the singing is particularly strong. Choreographer Lisa Stevens does an admirable job capturing the silly sexiness of the script. The male ensemble's wetsuit flipper dance is everything. Lyon's rendition of Does Your Mother Know, in which she flirts outrageously with one of the island workers, almost brought the house down. Any number that includes nipple tweaking in the choreography is well worth the price of admission... this is perfect summer fare ‹ a light romantic comedy that is hilariously funny in parts with gorgeously produced music. Get yourself to this Greek getaway." (click to read the entire review)
