Mamma Mia!
Meryl Streep leads an all-star cast in the feature-film adaptation of the beloved musical that has been seen by more than 30 million people in 170 cities and eight languages around the world. Bringing the timeless lyrics and melodies of iconic super group ABBA to movie audiences, summer 2008 is the season for Mamma Mia! The star-studded soundtrack is the ultimate souvenir to the movie, set for release on Decca July 8.The feature film adaptation of the global stage hit production brings the magic of ABBA’s music to the silver screen. With rising star Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper, alongside Hollywood heavy-hitters Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth Stellan Skasgârd, Julie Walters and Christine Baranski, the film features the stars’ versions of 17 ABBA classics in this celebration of a mother, a daughter and three possible dads.
Mixed, mastered and produced by ABBA’s musical geniuses Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the soundtrack is a must-have collection of these pop gems. Andersson and Ulvaeus reunited in Stockholm with the musicians who played on the original ABBA songs to record the disc in February 2007. It was the first time the musicians had played the songs together since ABBA toured more than 25 years ago. Along with producing the recording, Andersson also played keyboards. He commented, “We didn’t have to think about it - it was in the fingers.”
The actors joined together for the first time to record their vocals in London in April, 2007, prior to the commencement of principal photography, and continued recording later that summer on location while filming on the beautiful Greek islands. Whether it’s Streep, Walters and Baranski making their mark on “Dancing Queen,” Brosnan and Streep’s upbeat rendition of “SOS,” or the energetic song-and-dance numbers such as “Voulez-Vous,” the Mamma Mia! soundtrack captures the essence of the originals, while still giving them new and dazzling treatments.
Inspired by the storytelling arcs of ABBA’s songs from “Dancing Queen” to “Money, Money, Money” and “Take a Chance on Me,” Mamma Mia! is a celebration of mothers and daughters, old friends and new family found.

Take a Chance... It's Surprisingly Brilliant!,
It does take you about 20 minutes to settle down from the excitement of this outstanding cast singing their hearts out. I'm not the biggest 'movical' fan but if go in with an open mind and a bunch of people and you'll leave uplifted and pleasantly surprised.4/29/2010 2:27 AM (GMT-08:00)
Momma Mia--DVD Movie 2 Disc
I have been deeply involved in high-end a/v for over 50 years. The sound recording of this movie is superb; it can only be 100% appreciated played thru a high quality sound system. The movie makes one "Forget your troubles and just be happy". I have watched the movie some 8 times and there are more viewings ahead. I have sent email dowloads to a large numer of friends urging them, if they have not already purchased, buy the disc(s). As good as the stage show is, it really cannot compare to the movie for many obvious reasons. If Streep loses any of the award shows I'll be greatly surprised. To the doubters---see the movie!! Chicago was great and received a number of awards, Momma Mia is better!! Who is better? Gere or Bronson?
