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 sham. Runner-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.

Winnie the Pooh
I have shared four children's books written by A.A. Milne and his very best friend. He wrote all these stories for his son Christopher Robin. Winnie the Pooh is also known as Edward Bear or as Christopher Robin sometimes called him Silly Old Bear. There are some friendships real and imaginary that last a lifetime and this friendship is one of them.

Blood Brothers
Nora Roberts's has written a family/romance/thriller novel entitled 'Blood Brothers' the first part of the 'Sign of Seven Trilogy'. The main characters are three boys by the names of Cal, Gage, and Fox who when they were 10 years of age well the night before all three turned 10, they made a pilgrimage to the Pagan Stone in their small town of Hawkins Hollow that is the center when in every seven years of the seventh month for seven days weird happenings occur. Nora Robert's in this part is a very show and tell writer and one needs to read it to really understand and know the fear that these three boys now men have been living.

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💖🎉👌😉📝
