Mamma Mia!
Am I now a convert to musical stage shows? This one impressed me so much I can't explain it
Hate musicals, not an Abba fan. Why then did the Mama Mia! stage show, which I attended reluctantly with work friends, delight me so? Was it the sumptuous Novello Theatre on London's Aldwych? Was it the stylish bar? Was it the upbeat crowd? Whatever it was, the production was excellent.

Oliver Twist is a shamRunner-Up in Critique Challenge
Characters are wooden and two dimensional. The book imbued with Victorian hypocrisy. Oliver Twist, far from shining a light on inner city poverty and crime, is voyeuristic and nauseatingly sentimental. In the end, Oliver is plucked from London's 'wickedness' only to join his benefactor in a life of rural privilege.

The Warrior of Shanduhar
The day my sister was stolen from us, I swore I would either bring her home or kill myself for having failed. It was a mostly cloudless day in Shanduhar. Bracing gusts had swept through the oasis on and off since mid-morning prayers. Aria and I had been feeding the camels. Our younger brother Eran was charged with cleaning out the rain barrel or face the back of Mother’s hand. I ran to his side to help before the precious remaining water tumbled into the sand rather than into Mother’s clay jar.

Now I like ABBA for the songs had a rhythm that really anyone can sing along with for I was only in junior high at ABBA's height in popularity though.
I haven’t seen the musical and I’m not an Abba fan either. I did enjoy the movie a good bit. Nicely done.
Not a fan of musicals but I've heard very good things about Mamma Mia! Loved your review!
Not seen the stage show or been to the Novello so jealous about that last bit lol. Nice critique though, and well done for being honest and liking what you like. I actually like musicals, so I'm a little biased.
Good movie, but not the best musical IMO. Good review, glad you like musicals now
I am glad this show made you love the Mamma Mia ! Excellent and unique critique
Excellent and Stylish💖🎉👌😉📝
