If you read Linda's blog, you will know that she claims to not be a fan of musicals. Well, this was so good that I wish she had been along with me today. I know she would have totally converted to being a true blue fan. It was THAT good.
I honestly don't know when I have laughed sooooooooo hard. Of course the songs and dances were great too (especially since I grew up listening to ABBA and I've also seen the movie a million times, so I knew all the words to every single song). At the end, for the curtain calls, they did 3 songs and everyone was standing up, and a bunch of us were dancing along as well. Ashley leaned over to me and said "Mom stop. It's just you and the old ladies who are dancing." I said "Well then they and I are the only ones who know how to have fun!"
I even let out a Woohoo or two during "Waterloo". I know how to party!
The only part I didn't like was when the intermission was over. The orchestra started up with a "BANG!" which was one loud note with all instruments, including trumpets, cymbals & drums, as they started the first song. Almost everyone jumped half out of their seats and I think I may have even wet my pants a little!
Overall though it really was awesome and if you find out it's coming to your city you should definitely go (yes, even you Linda!). I only wish I could go again!

I've never been to a Broadway show before. It sounds like fun though. I bet it comes or has already been to Atlanta. Sometimes you just gotta cut loose with the old ladies!
I saw that when we lived in IN...it was great. But my all time favorite is Wicked..it is amazing. I am taking my kids to see it in Memphis at the end of the month!!
I love musicals. I haven't seen this one. I'd like to see Wicked sometime, too.
Last one I saw was Hairspray in NYC with Pilgrim, Fashionista and I.T.-ologist.
I'm glad you had fun *dancin' in the seats*!
