The wonderful smell of croissants aside, I was really drawn into the musical world created by Benny Andersson and Bj\u00f6rn Ulvaeus, Abba&#8217;s founders&#8230;&#8230; again. After almost-propaganda-like listening to their songs in my father&#8217;s Volksvagen during my single-digit years &#8211; they have found its way rooted in my system &#8211; and to see it LIVE was simply awe-inspiring!!! Being a first timer in musicals and singing to the songs that I knew was so fun and engaging. The play had more songs that the movie &#8220;Mamma Mia&#8221; excluded. All are well inserted into the storyline. In fact &#8220;Our Last Summer&#8221; was alwez under the Abba blanket of songs which evaded me last time, the movie made me love that song for it&#8217;s simple happy lyrics and no-frills delivery. My new favorite. <\/p>\n<p>I sat waaay back at the last row on the Ground Floor &#8211; so I was up doing my freaky dance moves and clapping even before the encore as I was blocking nobody. haha. I didn&#8217;t sit at the same seat as my girlfriend but I could see her dancing away like a drunkard in the middle rows d. haha. <\/p>\n<p>Will surely be a weekend which will remain in memory for a long while. There&#8217;s nothing like the first time. haha. <\/p>\n<p>Our Last Summer (Mamma Mia : The Musical version)<\/p>\n<p class=\"audioplayer_container\"><span style=\"display:block;padding:5px;border:1px solid #dddddd;background:#f8f8f8\" id=\"audioplayer_1\">Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip.
